According to Everett Hägen, entrepreneurs mostly come from oppressed minorities, for whom the only way to gain wealth and social recognition is to enter business (Kennedy, 1988, 47–50). Fernand Braudel (1979, 181–3) considers that the 'rules of the game' leave no choice to 'conquering minorities' but to succeed in businesses scorned by the majority. The economic success of such minorities does not derive from any transcendental 'spirit of capitalism', but rather from their social position. J.-P. Warnier (1933, 113–21) uses the same analysis to explain the business ethos of 'social juniors' among the Bamileke of West Cameroon, who became great competitors with the Duala from the inter-war years
