The idea that there was an entrepreneurial "market" thousands of years ago is just wrong. The entrepreneur is a fairly recent social role. Thousands of years ago it was possible, without selling your labour to another person, to make your own living off of the land. This was how most people survived. The aristocratic class was created through the employment of slave labour. Life consisted not of running a business but of social life. Most people were not "business owners" in any sense of the word that would be recognizable to us. So the idea that this is somehow a return to a more ancient way of life is simply wrong.
