Jews have done well historically for two simple reasons.
1 - The entire culture is predicated on education and critical thinking being of the utmost importance. Jews honor people who are smart and clever far above anyone who is good at sports or pretty. Want to impress a room full of Jews? Demonstrate that your brain works and that you have bothered to learn things.
2 - Jews take a multigenerational approach to raising children. There is a saying, that the success of your life is not measured by what you or your children achieve. It's measured by what your grandchildren and their grandchildren achieve. You aren't merely responsible for raising your child to be a good person, you are also expected to teach them how to be a good parent.
Any culture that prioritized those two foundational elements will flourish. Which is why it is abhorrent to most Jews that the Trump administration continue to do all it can to erode both. Weakening education, and adopting a now now now policy about everything by ignoring climate change and so many other long term issues.
Look at New York instead, the American center Jewish influence. It just became the first state to provide free tuition for all state colleges if you earn less than 100K per year. You do have to be a resident and you must stay in NY for a few years after graduating. That brings an educated workforce and huge competitive advantage for the state on a multigenerational level. In 20 years people will ask why NY is doing so well.... and idiots will hate NY claiming it's run by the Jews. lol
