12:08 pm
a leader of a firm, maybe you can set an example for other people. if you can be a role model and other people might want to follow your example. that's one thing and secondly, if you talk about this and next thing you are doing, you might have an impact when people work for you. >> are you having that impact? >> there are people in the firm who are quite village rampart -- philanthropic were junior. he also match would people give away. for a young employee who wants to give away dollars, we will match that up to a certain amount. >> is philanthropy the answer to inequality? remember thatto philanthropy is not going to solve all the world's problems. in the united states, people give away roughly about two percent of gdp. it's a small percentage. it's important but small. to solve income inequality, we need to educate people better. >> we will have much more from davos like how to protect heads of state in the swiss alps and securing sochi.
