Bill Gates - one of the world's richest people - controls assets of about 68 billion dollars. This is a lot of capital, and places Bill Gates in a position to exercise a great deal of influence over the affairs of other people.

Is this an ideal situation? Or would it be a lot better if that fortune was distributed among the population?
Is it a good thing that Bill Gates controls all that money? Is it for the best that such a wise man controls so much of the earth's resources?
Or would it be better if all that capital was in more hands? Would it be better if all that power was deconcentrated?
