The engineers and workers create the product, not the market or the

Take a team of 10 engineers and a team of 10 businessmans.
Put each of them on an isolated island and come 10 years later to see which
have more infrastructure in place.

The "infrastructure" it is an accumulation of the "products" created by
engineers. The businessmans were just hypocritical enough to cheat or force
the creator of products to give it to them.

This is a good recipe for the corporation going out of business

Correct.

and no new ones starting up

False. The people with skills will do it.
To make a product you need skilled workforce and capital.
If you let the skilled workers to have enough capital they will start their
own business, no need for the others.
