Thomas Alva Edison "Inventions"

The Wizard of Menlo Park: How Thomas Alva Edison Invented the Modern World: Randall E. Stross: 9781400047635: Amazon.com: Books:

"Thomas Edison’s greatest invention? 
His own fame.

...he managed his own fame, becoming the first great celebrity of the modern age."

With no formal education, he was experimenting, and paying others to experiment, taking chances until something worked, and then promoting that extensively...
It was a business, not a science...
