Great post. Entrepreneurs should be valued. But in reality, they're taken for granted. One thing I'd like to see more of going forward, is more agency and less passivity in people. Particularly in the educational system. Here in the U.S., too many graduates see themselves as passive and only part of an employee class.
Have you ever read http://www.fee.org ? It's a great website about economics, based on the Austrian school of economics. They value the entrepreneur highly.
