I always hear the argument for capitalism "B bb BUT people won't innovate without the profit motive" WRONG
Humans want to solve problems, create, and innovate, they do not need money to motivate them. Cavemen were painting art 20,000 years ago without the desire of money.
True scientists like Tesla, he didn't care about money it was about the pursuit of science.
Capitalism does not cause innovation, most new technology is found by government programs like nasa (internet, smartphones, etc)
Depending on which side you look at, and indeed the desire to have something is one of the biggest motives in human life. At this time the majority of the desire can only be filled with money, different in the past, where technology is not as sophisticated and fast as this process
