The entrepreneur concentrates costs upon himself and diffuses the marginal revenues to society. Just the contrary that the rent-seeker dealing with public agents, who concentrates revenues on him and leaves costs/taxes to the rest of society. Note that the human action of a market entrepreneur or a public racketteur are similar. The difference lies in the context or institutions.
