| Abstract | "Low German Mennonites, a non-political, non-conformist, pacifist sect of Anabaptists named after the Reformer Menno Simmons, have consistently made a disproportionate impact on the local and national economies compared to their share of the total population. . . . Following Douglas North’s theory of institutions, I argue that Mennonite success has been largely due to the strength of their institutions—in particular their German schools—and their connections to innovation pathways in Germany." |
