Waarom zijn Joden succesvol

Het is niet helemaal een goede graadmeter maar als je kijkt naar het aantal Joodse nobelprijs winnaars kun je alleen concluderen dat Joden succesvoller zijn dan alle andere volken. Heeft dit een aparte reden? Zijn Joden genetisch gezien slimmer dan de meeste andere volken? Ook in de wereld van de kunst, film en de zakenwereld(ongeveer 1 op de 3 rijke mensen in de wereld zijn van Joodse afkomst) spelen ze een leidende rol. Alleen in de sportwereld lijken ze een wat bescheidender rol te spelen(afgezien van schaken) al is de Joodse invloed op de zakelijke kant van sport groot

De vragen beantwoord hebben en er een discussie over starten

Nee, maar je wil toch niet ontkennen dat Joden oververtegenwoordigd zijn in de Nobelprijswinnaars categorie en in de 500 lijst van Forbs?

quote:

Op zaterdag 24 juni 2006 16:27 schreef Gluckskafer het volgende:
Ben je zelf joods?

Nope

Het aantal nobelprijzen delen door het aantal Joodse Nobelprijzen en dat relateren aan het aantal joden in de wereld.

quote:

Op zaterdag 24 juni 2006 16:32 schreef thaleia het volgende:
Sociale achtergrond, omgeving waarin je opgroeit maakt gewoon heel veel uit voor hoe ver je het schopt, en vroeger nog veel meer dan nu. Maak over honderd jaar nog 'n lijst van Nobelprijswinnaars en het percentage joden zal lager zijn.

Ik maak het niet meer mee, maar ik betwijfel het. Sinds de opkomst van het kapitalisme in Rusland zijn het de Joden die de macht grijpen in de (economische) wereld. Dat kan bijna geen toeval zijn en dat speelt zich toch af in de laatste 15 jaar

Dat laatste geldt overigens niet alleen voor de Joden die in de VS terecht kwamen

Waarom leg jij het negatief uit (zoals de waard is, vertrouwt hij zijn gasten)? Misschien is hij niet jaloers op de joden, maar bewondert hij het juist dat joden zo succesvol zijn.

quote:

Op zaterdag 24 juni 2006 16:52 schreef MrX1982 het volgende:
Wellicht omdat joden lang zijn vervolgd en geen hulp hoefden te verwachten van de heersende elite. Zodoende konden/moesten ze zich richten op andere terreinen en op eigen benen leren staan.

Mja ik weet niet of er echt een reden is of dat het waar is dat joden succesvoller zijn dan anderen.
[..]

Heb je daar ook een bron van?

Nee, maar als je de top 100 van de Forbes lijst gaat doorkijken op Wikipedia en wat onderzoek doet, zul je zien dat dat lijstje redelijk klopt.

quote:

Op zaterdag 24 juni 2006 17:08 schreef Kogando het volgende:
Waarom zijn negers niet succesvol..

Geen idee maar het lijstje van zwarte miljardairs is erg kort

The history of black billionaires is very short. According to Forbes international rich lists, Oprah Winfrey has been the world's only black billionaire since 2004, however black billionaires were rumoured to exist in the 20th century. In a 2000 internet chat the editor of Forbes stated "dictators like Mobutu and Sani Abacha (Nigeria) were probably billionaires when they were alive, but we never managed to get enough info on them to confidently put them on the Forbes list."[1]

Making the List


By Rob Eshman



The May 21 issue of the Los Angeles Business Journal features the paper’s annual list of ”The 50 Wealthiest Angelenos.” More than half the people listed, in fact, close to 60 percent, are Jewish. In a county where Jews number about 520,000, or just 5 percent out of a population of 10 million, that statistic begs examination, if not wonder.

You can object to such rankings as crass, or worry that they only fuel the fever dreams of anti-Semites. But the list is too important to ignore: it tells us something about our city, its Jews and the most prosperous among us.

In 1986, when the Business Journal started ranking the rich, a much larger percentage of names were WASPs who made their fortunes in aerospace and energy, and other non-Jews who made their money the old-fashioned way — through inheritance.

Then entrepreneuers and investors — skilled at seizing opportunities, defining new markets and extending brands — entered the marketplace and prospered wildly. They became the monied elite in a city where family history, religion, ethnicity or even prior wealth conferred no guarantee and formed no barrier. Some came to America fleeing the Holocaust, others grew up poor in New York slums, still others followed dreams of success out of suburbs, small towns, or Israel. Only one of the Jews listed has the word ”inheritance” under ”source of wealth,” and even he made an additional fortune as an entertainment entrepreneur. Most of those listed pursued a good education before they went after economic success. Talk about an emphasis on education paying off.

The list is highly volatile and hardly the whole picture. Last year’s tech billionaire is this year’s struggling multimillionaire. As for the rest of us, the median Jewish household income in 1997 was $52,050 — hardly the stuff mansions are made of. The truth is, many of us still struggle to pay membership and tuition fees at the Jewish institutions such wealth so generously funds.

It is difficult, though not impossible, to find on the list a Jewish man (there are no Jewish women) who doesn’t also appear frequently linked to Jewish causes. They achieved success and status without hiding their Jewishness — no small credit to our city or our times.

And whether or not their faith had anything to do with their creating wealth, it has a lot to do with how these people disburse it. There is a lot of overlap between the names in the Top 50 and the largest charitable enterprises in the Jewish community, and with some of the highest-profile civic causes and most successful political candidates.

But in the end, this list is just a freeze-frame. Decades ago Jews were not nearly as prominent, and in another 20 or 40 years, no doubt another sea change will occur among the monied elite. From our offices in Koreatown, it’s fairly easy to see the next wave.

Before that happens, these men will have the opportunity to define their legacies. Their biographies make clear that the creation of great wealth was, for most of them, not an end in itself, but a by-product of a restless need for achievement, for contribution, for the next new thing. ”It’s just your money,” Wall Street Week’s Louis Rukeyser once said, ”it’s not your life.” Ultimately, their lives — like all our lives — will be about the good works and good will we leave behind, and not our rank on a newspaper list.
