Major problems throughout, and most definitely John Mackey IS NOT a student of the history of technology nor public health history! [For the complete destruction of his premise, please read the outstanding book by Nicole Aschoff, The New Prophets of Capital --- brilliant!] People like Mackey always use the Error of Attribution, falsely claiming the fruits of progress to stem from predatory capitalism --- it was in spite of the capitalist swine that technical progress came about, not because of it. The vast majority of inventors and creators had their creations stolen from them, and only in some cases [the theft by Sears of the ratchet wrench, took years by its inventor to win the case and the building block of the geodesic dome, stolen by R. Buckminister Fuller from a graphic artist at the faculty Fuller once was on, as decided by the patent court circa 2001-2002; Microsoft and Bill Gates literally suing the owner of the Internet Explorer name to death!]. Tesla, Armstrong, Philo Farnsworth, Chester Gould, the list goes on almost forever, and in public health it was always battles against the capitalists who were against clean drinking water, sewage, and still against national healthcare, et cetera! [And guess who utilizes the products of private prison labor?]
