Rockefeller gets mentioned in the video which reminded me of a documentary I saw a few years ago about JD Rockefeller.
His father travelled the country selling a fake cure made from, if I remember correctly, water and rock oil. When people worked out that the medicine was useless the family just moved on to the next town.
JD decided to look for oil, instead. He found some financiers then, some say, he prevented them from benefitting from the oil he found. Oil is a way of getting stuff out of the ground for almost nothing and selling it at a profit. He moved on to quarrying and mining then chemicals then pharmaceuticals and finally money. All the time making more money from less at each stage.
His pharmaceutical stage involved new drugs. He had new textbooks written to promote his drugs and he financed medical schools that promoted his drugs. Pre-existing therapies and cures were systematically down-played.
Now remember that the lesson from his father was that you could sell medicine but it did not necessarily have to be efficacious. And here we are!
