True, some places will have a greater than average number. But the implication does not work the other way, that people from that place have a natural tendency for innovation. Nor the inverse, that because my parents were not on US soil when I was born does not preclude me from being innovative.
- yummyfajitas 15y agoThe claim is that the US has more innovative business leaders, not that innovation is something intrinsic to US-born people. As I said: "If innovative people attract each other, you'd certainly expect some places to have a greater than average number." I'm implying that the US could have a disproportionate number of innovative business leaders because the innovative people in India or Greece leave and come to the US.
