An entrepreneur is someone (individual or collective) who seeks out new
needs and means of satisfying them. This is a role that is required in any
society, including a nonmarket planned socialist society. (Unless you go
with the asceticism that Carrol advocates.) Under Stalinism it was performed
rather poorly by Gosplan bureacrats. Under Schweickaert's market socialism
it would be performed by worker's coops. Either of these are examples of
socialist entrepreneurs. --jks
