Does it though? Universities seem to be doing the heavily lifting innovation-wise.

What’s your point? Monopoly does not imply innovation.

My point is that captialism doesn’t have as big a role in innovation as many would claim.

Captialism also leads to monopoly when unchecked. I was responding to the first half.
