Of all the people that fought in that war, how many got to keep the oil consessions or anything worth value?


My example wasn't a one-to-one comparison but an emphasis on the human power when it comes from a collective.


Another example is open source development. People didn't get paid to create the Linux Kernel. That same kernel powers almost everything around you.


You have to get the power before you get the resource. You can give me a ton of steel but steel don't turn itself into cars.
