I was arguing that on an individual level English people don&#x27;t rank higher when it comes to entrepreneurship. I was not arguing that the British Empire wasn&#x27;t commercially successful or that it didn&#x27;t manage to accumulate wealth from their colonies if that what you were alluding to in your reply.<p>English people didn&#x27;t make it commercially « on their own » but with the help of their state or empire globally and this is a historical fact and thus the comparison to the Chinese, Levantines or Jews who mostly acted on personal initiatives is not apt one.
