Cotton fields and sweat shops

Stephen J. Gould said-
"I am somehow less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweat shops."

What other areas are genius and talent being wasted?  The weight of this comment is huge when you think about broken systems like education, foster care and adoption.  Foster care and adoption are only half broken, along with our court system.  How many migrant farm workers today have ideas but no access to move them? 

Access to me is easy, but for a migrant farm worker it's most likely out of reach.
