Indeed every artist does undertake an "enterprise" whenever he begins a new work. Here are three entries in an average dictionary for 'enterprise'. You'll notice economy comes into it only in the third entry: 1 : a project or undertaking that is especially difficult, complicated, or risky 2 : readiness to engage in daring or difficult action : initiative <showed great enterprise in dealing with the crisis> 3 a : a unit of economic organization or activity; especially : a business organization b : a systematic purposeful activity <agriculture is the main economic enterprise among these people>
