No. It is simply true based on the history economics.

think about it: the notion of the atomized individual heroically undertaking the only real form of economic activity recogized by this "school"--wealth generation---operates in a context-free situation, dependant only upon inward features (spunk, grit, determination--pick your cliche)---factors like socail stratification, unequal distribution of economic (social, cultural) opportunities--not relevant---infrastructure--not relevant.
only the isolated Heroic Entrepreneur...
how on earth is this even remotely like a descriptive base for thinking about economic activity in 2006?
Individuals operate in a social context so do entrereneurs. Value and wealth is generated in markets based exchanging goods and services.

You have made assumptions that are not accurate.
