Used in print:(R. F. Shaw, "The `Private Eye`"...)
In_short , the fictional private_eye is a specialized version of Adam_Smith 's ideal entrepreneur , the man whose private ambitions must always and everywhere promote the public welfare .
Not_only did the ideal entrepreneur not produce the greatest good for the greatest number , he ended by destroying himself , by giving birth to monopoly capitalism .
Thus the transformation of Adam_Smith 's ideal entrepreneur into a mythological detective coincides closely with the decline of the real entrepreneur in economic life .

They were not diplomats or jazz_musicians , or even organizers of reading-rooms and photo_montage displays , but rugged capitalist entrepreneurs like Henry_Ford , Hugh_Cooper , Thomas_Campbell , the International_Harvester_Co. , and David_W._Griffith .
