He's saying that since Einstein wasn't a rich man, by the author's logic, he couldn't have contributed much to society.

No, he doesn't say so. The reverse of A -> B is not B -> A or even (not A) -> (not B), but (not B) -> (not A).
The "runny tally" part says something very different than A -> B. It says A <-> B.
contributes -> rich : (not rich) -> (not contributes)... what exactly are you arguing?
Einstein did not contribute to the market, and thus shouldn't be judged by that. You could say he gave his insights away as gifts (or in exchange for reputation?).
