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)
The situation is the opposite of what you're saying, I think people are motivated with money. We can point out that more money is offered to people in every aspect of our lives as more working power, or people are trying to reach higher ranks to get more wages. It is also a fact that the work of people with higher budgets has always been a priority and that these people are given extra dignity because of their money.
