I like "drive" for all sorts of applications:"We'll drive the enemy from their hiding places!""Current economic conditions are driving stock prices to historic lows""Dagny was the driving force behind Taggart Transcontinental"
Well, Microsoft mid-level executives share your enthusiasm. Although I think Rand would have used "motive power" to describe Dagny's influence.
You're right...motive power is a much better phrase. Your scorn has driven me to shame...:P
Just imagine how my Word program feels. :P
