No i meant distribution. Scientists make technological advances. The capitalist is the one to profit off the distribution of technology.
Sometimes the scientists is also the capitalist.
But some men like Tesla envisioned free energy for all. And who knows what inventions the FBI seized from his apartment when he died a poor man.

That's bogus, no one's starving in Europe. In fact a lot of Europeans have a better quality of life than many Americans.
Poverty rates are high in Europe.
google it.
