    If anything, capitalism often stands in the way of innovation, because you must consider the profit margins first and foremost.

      kinda like that George Lucase interview where he pointed out Soviet filmmakers had more creative freedom than he did. They weren’t allowed to call for regime change. Otherwise, they could make whatever they liked. George had to make profitable movies, which is a far narrower slice of what’s artistically possible.
