is C wrong because of the words "in investments"?

[ohthatpatrick]

Even if it didn't say "investments" it would be wrong.

(C) is really describing monetary wealth. The author isn't suggesting that actual wealth gets distributed across society. He's saying the benefits of innovation extend to all. The first paragraph is actually acknowledging that actual wealth may only go to the small group of investors, but benefits are enjoyed by all.

The benefits mentioned in the passage that are now enjoyed by most people are
- access to written materials
- access to entertainment
- access to a computer / e-mail

These are tangible/intangible goods.

Hope this helps.
