The idea that people who 'create value' are motivated by money does not stand scrutiny. The bulk of major discoveries have been by people motivated by curiosity, some so obsessed not even caring about their own lives, so its unlikely money was the motivating factor. The open source movement has probably created hundreds of billions of dollars of value, yet it is not motivated by money. And value is not created by individuals, you need an entire society with infrastructure, education, teachers, technology, stability, science, funding, wealth, markets to create value.
