    There was never another outcome.

    Capitalism breeds one thing, and it certainly isn’t innovation, and it most definitely isnt not-for-profit innovation.

      Capitalism is extremely good at breeding superficial, go-to-market innovation. It’s less good at funding the pure research that leads to major discoveries. But once it gets closer to engineering than to science, it’s highly effective. Even Marx commented on that.
