Subject: RE: Folklore: Entrepreneurship stories as Folklore
Hmmm. I guess I think of an entrepreneur somewhat unfairly, as somebody who makes money out of nothing - like a salesman or manager, not a craftsman or artisan. "Rigs of the Time" makes mention of storekeepers and other businessmen, but not in a complimentary fashion.
Strictly speaking, I think an entrepreneur is one who manages the financial end of business, not an artisan. Whether the entrepreneur makes money or not, I don't think it's the kind of work that inspires singers of songs.
