“An entrepreneur casts a certain kind of spell. He brings resources, people, and capital together in a way that enables him to make others better off, so they will make him better off. He is a master of mutualism. His magic lies in his ability to carry all this out sustainably, imposing no costs on anyone other than his partners in mutual gain, all within the Law of Consent. This distinguishes him from a political entrepreneur who practices dark dialectics. That means, somewhere in his spellcasting, the political entrepreneur colludes with those who have seized the authority to compel others. Dark dialectics is the art of mingling persuasion and compulsion — like money and power — to dominate. A subversive entrepreneur casts his spells in dangerous territory, where political entrepreneurs and powerful authorities, wielding monopolies on violence, roam the land. This makes the subversive entrepreneur the rarest among entrepreneurial spellcasters.” (05/04/26)
