Such a Time of It They Had Episode Episode 15 Chapter 14 The Gospel of Wealth
John D Rockefeller started funding global health in 1910, and 3 years later set up the Rockefeller Foundation - long before there was a WHO or USAID. The Foundation is still funding global health today. Rockefeller made his money from energy, necessary for the massive industrial progress of the 20th century.
This George Gershwin tune, the theme song for the 1939 New York World’s Fair, capsulizes the optimism of this technological age, which by the middle of the century was making rapid progress in medicine. It was the dawn of a new day, they felt; “Better times, here to stay, as we live and laugh the American way.”
They just didn’t mention the dark sides.
