For over fifty years, Barbie, has been both a cultural symbol, as well one of the leading toys beloved by generations of young girls. Once again Mattel, producer of the iconic doll, is under attack (http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/breakout/why--entrepreneur-barbie--is-another-miss-for-mattel-141107582.html) for introducing a new version – Entrepreneur Barbie (http://www.barbie.com/en-us/news-and-deals/barbie-celebrates-women-entrepreneurs). The collectivist scourge that Ludwig von Mises identified as “the Anti-Capitalistic Mentality (http://www.amazon.com/Anti-Capitalistic-Mentality-Ludwig-Von-Mises/dp/1467934836/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1403816649&sr=1-1&keywords=ludwig+von+mises+anti-capitalistic)” and Ayn Rand as “the Anti-Industrial Revolution (http://www.amazon.com/Return-Primitive-Anti-Industrial-Revolution/dp/0452011841/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1403816750&sr=1-1&keywords=ayn+rand+the+anti-industrial)” is alive and thriving. Entrepreneurs are a pivotal heroic element in the building of civilization. If playing with their treasured Barbies will somehow inspire the entrepreneurial imagination and creativity of these girls, we will all benefit.
