I've watched most of the show now, and I don't recommend it. Lots of feel-good fluff, basic regurgitation of Buffet's philosophy, and back story on their careers that you can find in the introduction to their wikipedia bio articles.
I used to be amused at how the deeds of robber barons like Andrew Carnegie got forgotten and they were lauded when they turned to philanthropy later in life. I'm substantially less amused to see the process happening with Bill Gates.<p>Warren Buffett, however, I've always liked.
It is certainly something different hearing them say it rather than reading it in Wikipedia. I find their optimism very reassuring and enjoyed the Q&A format.
"A generation looks for guidance to the nation's two greatest capitalists."<p>Oh please. Gag me with a spoon.<p>The whole thing reminds me of Oral Roberts back in his Heal! days. Is this a student body, or a cult?
