  -> Negativo o no, un bucanero es un bucanero, sea empresario o ande en el Perla Negra.

agree  Luis Aceña: Empresarios pirata, mercados con pelotazos y descalabros, capital riesgo; estos conceptos desaparecieron de su argumentación porque en el capitalismo habían hecho de todo excepto desaparecer.

  -> Muchas gracias.

agree  Ana Garrido: piratas tiene una connotación más negativa y por lo tanto más fiel al contexto.
