His inventions take the world by storm and fundamentally change society in positive ways. He gets so rich, in fact, that money loses its meaning - only the quest for knowledge drives him on.
However the true villain in this story is - his banker!
Very well done. It could have been expanded into novel and would have made for a fantastic read.

My mom had The Pocket Book of Science Fiction, which I believe was the very first science fiction anthology from the 40s. This story was in that book. I grew up reading it over and over. Thanks for the memories!
So glad you stumbled upon my little blog.
Stories are like music; they can take you back in time to your youth.
These vintage tales can really stand the test of time.
Okay, so you didn't stumble in here, since I gave you the address but I'm very happy to took the time to browse around.
Keep writing I really enjoyed your work in the current issue of Analog.
