Like U2's manager, Paul McGuinness, Bono firmly believes that all problems can be solved by haranguing people in power and
pleading for charitable donations, rather than actually changing economic models. But one thing Bono won't do is

In Rainbows a failure, Bono felt it necessary to send a letter to
NME making clear that while their manager doesn't want the RIAA to consider these upstarts' hair-brained schemes, U2 thinks the band are "courageous and imaginative," etc., smooch smooch, let's photo op with Barack sometime.
