The latter is not true for out type.
In one sense, he may indeed be called the most rational and the most egoistical of all.
For, as we have seen, conscious rationality enters much more into the carrying out of new plans, which themselves have to be worked out before they can be acted upon, than into the mere runnning of an established business, which is largely a matter of routine.
And the typical entrepreneur is more self-centred than other types, because he relies less than they do on tradition and because his characteristic task - theoretically as well as historically - consists precisely in breaking up old, and creating new, tradition.
Although this applies primarily to his economic action, it also extends to the moral, cultural, and social consequences of it.
