I don't follow. Even now there is nothing preventing anyone here from making something for millions of dollars. While VC capital is closed to a select few, a person in a garage can still make it big.

Communist counties tend to gate keep even more. To the point that it is entirely who you know, with little concern to what you do.

To the point that it is entirely who you know, with little concern to what you do. And in capitalist countries, it's how much money you have. Swings and roundabouts.
