While he claims he is a devout fan of capitalism, he fails to address the capitalist role in sustaining poverty and warfare. Africa is still completely colonized by the IMF and World Bank, whose policies over the past half century have forced its nations to take loans they can't repay, and as a result, they are forced to sell under-priced foods. This food is then largely wasted in developed countries where Capitalism commands that people consume more than they need to survive. At the apex of the Capitalist market is the arms industry, selling weapons to tin-pot dictators in African nations which have the opposite effect and only serve to increase poverty and suffering.
Meanwhile, Gates attends "private clubs" full of the men who run these banks, are shareholders in those same arms companies and who dictate the foreign policy of the developed nations. (e.g. Bilderberg 2010)
If not disingenuous to the point of turning your stomach, he is just naive and sees the world through a very narrow scope. I suspect it's a bit of both.
