>>There are as many heroes who don't "own companies" in her novels. Here are some of the main ones.
I didn't say "own companies", I said businesspeople. Many/most of her villains were wealthy, and wealthy people call themselves businesspeople whenever they mysteriously congregate to buy sure things cheap to reap unnatural rewards. This "business" behavior is specifically targeted in Atlas Shrugged.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
