Carlos Slim named second-richest man - 04/13/2007 - MiamiHerald.com

Carlos Slim named second-richest man - 04/13/2007 - MiamiHerald.com: "'He's a sharp global entrepreneur who was able to use [Telmex] and expand it and make it more efficient and diversify from it,'' said Kevin Gallagher, an international economic authority and professor of international relations at Boston University.

Slim said his vision of a businessman's role is at odds with that of Buffett, who announced last year he would donate $1.5 billion every year to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

''Our concept is more to accomplish and solve things, rather than giving -- that is, not going around like Santa Claus,'' said Slim. ``Poverty isn't solved with donations.''"
