Steve Jobs, World's Greatest Philanthropist


Dan Pallotta in "Steve Jobs, World’s Greatest Philanthropist" argues that Steve Jobs has contributed much more to humanity by not having started any public foundations with his wealth and instead spending all of his time at what he did best--creating great products. Pallotta develops his argument by listing innovative products Jobs brought to market, describing how each has made a large number of people better off, and pointing out that all of Jobs' efforts went into these endeavors as opposed to luxury spending on himself. Pallotta's purpose is to establish the admirability of helping humanity through building wealth in the market in order to make this option know to students who are in the process of making career choices. Pallotta is writing to an audience that wants to make a difference in the world but that discounts Jobs for not having given away more of his money.
