She weighs in on the socialism versus capitalism debate and anti-vaxxers in a new interview.
The philanthropist and wife of Microsoft MSFT, -0.14% co-founder Bill Gates weighed in on the socialism vs. capitalism debate in a CNBC interview Wednesday morning.
Her comments come as U.S. politicians have heatedly argued the merits of both economic systems leading up to the 2020 presidential race. Vice President Mike Pence has said the next election is a choice between “freedom and socialism,” for example.
Melinda Gates agreed. “I think we all do better as a globe when countries can grow from low, to middle income, to high income,” she said. “And so I think we need to look at our system and say, ‘OK, what are the great things about it? And what are the things that, at this point in time, we need to adjust and change?’”
