Nikola Tesla was a radical anarchist then, I guess? :-P

I mean, in a lot of ways he didn't care about the economics of his inventions. He wanted to transfer electricity wirelessly across huge areas and there really wasn't a way to monetise that if everyone could just tap into that.

In a communist society you could build something like that, in capitalism you're not going to find an investor to do this.

Thus, Ben Franklin wins electricity, and they made Tesla into a joke, who goes on to be a recluse, yeah? Edit: Thomas Edison rather
