Interesting. I haven't seen this. I'll have to watch it and get back to you.

So, just watched the video. It doesn’t seem like taking the money has changed their ideology in any way, since they are still very much anti-capitalist. It does seem like there might be a risk of dependency, but they appear to be pretty aware of that.

What I thought was interesting about the video is that Peter Buffett appears to be vocally anti-capitalist, which is a little strange. This article talks about it in more detail:

Unlike his billionaire father, Buffett is pessimistic about American capitalism. “We are in the midst of a collapse,” he says. He favors the small and local over the big and global, quoting Belgian designer Thomas Lommée, who says “the next big thing is a lot of small things.” NoVo funds think tanks like the Schumacher Center for a New Economics, named after the economist E. F. Schumacher, the author of the 1973 classic, Small Is Beautiful: Economics As If People Mattered. “We’re trying to knit back together the community and the land that feeds us,” Buffett says. “If we can provide a non-prescriptive model, we can spread the word and likewise learn from other communities as well.”
