Romanticism

I never thought of the entrepreneur as the romantic type, but after reading the 1968 introduction by Ayn Rand to her novel The Fountainhead, I think he may well be! Here's the quote:

" . . . romanticism is the conceptual school of art. It deals, not with the random trivia of the day, but with the timeless, fundamental, universal problems and values of human existance. It does not record or photograph; it creates and projects. It is concerned -- in the words of Aristotle -- not with things as they are, but with things as they might be or ought to be."
