Manipulation of science...

I am compelled to fear that science will be used to promote the power of dominant groups rather than to make men happy.

Yes, that is also a possibility. When oil exploration was started in American sub-continent, there were not many takers for the product due to insufficient demand. Many companies who ventured into these Projects were doomed. However, the situation changed drastically with widespread use of hydrocarbon products for numerous applications and now the US is dominating the West Asia in their quest for controlling the resources.
