Carlos Slim on Charity

The Wall Street Journal has a look at the attitude toward charity of Carlos Slim, listed by Forbes as the world's richest man: "The only way to fight poverty is with employment," he said. "Trillions of dollars have been given to charity in the last 50 years, and they don't solve anything."

Don't look for Mr. Slim to sign on to the Warren Buffett-Bill Gates "giving pledge" anytime soon.
