"The inventor or the author who refuses to share his work with the world if he cannot profit by it simply get left behind."
This person is *created* by hardship: the sense that if you do not wring all of power and profit from what you create you will have nothing. You will fall into a maw of poverty that will consume, you, your family, & freedom.
If people do not have that fear, recognition, being admired & a little profit is often more than enough.
