This is text of a speech to the Bankers Trust Wealth With Responsibility Conference on October 28,1997.
It presents and examines three hypotheses:
- That bridging gaps that divide us, is a fundamentally necessary way of solving complex problems the world faces
- That individuals of wealth have special capacity for bridging gaps
- That social investment is a particularly useful mechanism for bridging gaps and in which people of wealth are particularly suited to play a role.
