A post here a week ago of a book review https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-making-of-a-prophet/ https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-making-of-a-prophet/ got no comments at that time, but caught my eye. It seems the author, Alec Nevala-Lee, of the biography _Inventor of the Future_ about Buckminster Fuller, would agree with you. The reviewer, Pradeep Niroula, concluded: Buckminster Fuller’s life is a reminder of two truths: to succeed in America, it really helps to come from a well-connected family; and, with the right marketing, anyone can become an icon. His illustrious life is testament to the influence a single con artist can have over a zeitgeist.
