I find the idea that stoves must only be sold, and that all stoves must include a profit rent, to be a true perversion.


Jock,

That is fine utopian philosophizing, but realistically, is everyone supposed to build their own improved stove? Specialization exists even at the village level. Is the village stovemaker supposed to build stoves for free?

Profit is payment to the risk taker (the entrepreneur, the investor), just as one pays for labor, goods or money. How is that a perversion?
