IN PRAISE OF BUSINESSMEN.

IN PRAISE OF BUSINESSMEN. Josiah Wedgwood is an example of a businessman dealing with problems that he did not choose. The problems were presented by his pottery business. Bronowski and Mazlish trace his activities to the problems of his business. Thus, his support for roads and canals was driven by his need to transport not only his products, but also special clays that he had located far from his factory. Within the last year, I read an interview with a successful restaurant owner who was discussing the problems of the restaurant business. He said that he welcomed the problems. He said that dealing with problems was what businessmen did and that if you didn’t enjoy dealing with problems, you should do something else.
