I found this interesting because, in the HN bubble, we mostly talk about monetizing solutions for the problems of privileged folk. For example, Paul Graham's "Startup Ideas We'd Like to Fund".<p>Bill Gates argues that solving the problems of the less-privileged doesn't have to be purely philanthropic -- there's actually profit to be had if you know how to find the right market.<p>This was written in 2008. Have there been notable examples of creative capitalism since then?

A phenomenon uncovered by a prof from University of Toronto.<p>edit: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2748346" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2748346</a>
