    What in your opinion is the greatest nation/race on earth?

    For me i'd pick Japan.The people there just seem to be able to rebuild quickly no matter what happens like ww2 or the tsunami.They seem to be very proud people and put a lot of importance on education and hard work.

    So which country or race of people would you choose and why?

    Well he's kinda right...swapping the 'c' for the 'r' involves two letters...

    In the risk of sounding unpopulist, Germany. Theyre holding Europe together single handedly at the moment and came storming back in zero time after the complete destruction that was WWII.

    They certainly didn't invent capitalism, for the origins of capitalism I suggest you read Weber's Spirit of capitalism
