 This tftc video that I watched this morning about how wealthy families in England kept their land for a 1000 years talks about this idea of local charity (own your land and support help folks in your community ) versus sending money abroad somewhere and creating weird markets in other economies (Gates altruism style, mosquito nets in Africa that end up as fishing nets). 

I'm sorry, Gates, I have used windows many years so I thank him for that.
