I think, rather than creative, it’s best to call them the Human Capitalists (unlike the Industrial Capitalists who own factories, farms, oil wells, etc., the Human Capitalists only owns his own education, equity in his company and cheap means of production & distribution). An HC can “produce” with tools he can own personally (a computer, or a Red One digital camera) and distribute through a general medium (FedEx, the Internet). They have no fixed costs and flit from one project to the other (or one company to the other) quickly and efficiently, always taking their most cherished possessions with them.
In fact, the government is incapable of taking away their only possession of great value. You can’t take away their knowledge of math or their skill at acting or architecture. That’s why taxation of “mere income” doesn’t bother them as much.
The Human Capitalists, in centuries past, used to be only authors and painters, but with the rise of IP and digital distribution, they are entering into all other fields of human activity.
“Former” Human Capitalists such as Elon Musk and John Carmack will become Industrial Capitalists, even as they bring the entrepreneurial attitude of the HC’s with them. They will commit billions of dollars to specific physical investments which require particular economic conditions to be profitable. To plan years in advance like they they must commit to a course of action and oppose any change which can swing them into the red for decades at a time (or into bankruptcy court). They will lose the nimbleness of a Human Capitalist who can drop one company on Friday and start a new one on Monday. Thus they become conservative.
