Please explain the context and significance of the quote below. what were they talking about? why was it important? "“All this makes an English merchant justifiably proud and leads him to compare himself, not unreasonably, to a Roman citizen.  Nor do the younger sons of English Lords despise commercial matters. . . . [while French nobles]  look down on businessmen, and French businessmen hear so much criticism of their profession they are foolish enough to blush.  However, I’m not certain who is more useful to a country, a nobleman who knows when the King gets up or goes to bed, and gives himself grand airs while playing the part of a slave in some Minister’s hallway, or a business man who makes his country rich . . . and contributes to the well-being of the world.”​
