Its story upends the widely held conception that high prices reflect huge industry investments in innovation.

There's very much this passive attitude that "it'll all work out in the end" and "history won't be kind to the bigots" but history is formed by the present, and written by the victors, and can only be won by those who fight. Not to mention that we live in the PRESENT, not "in the end."
