Productive Investment Quotes
This is a tension that exists in almost every nation. Money invested abroad, may have substantial benefit to the individual investor, but very little to his country. In the worst case, American’s invest in building manufacturing facilities in foreign countries, which then use foreign labor to make products that are imported back to the United States. These investors have not only sent the capital made in America abroad, but also exported American jobs with it. Some countries have made laws limiting the export of capital but this rarely works. In America, this would be unconstitutional. The best a country can do is to be sure its productivity is competitive with the rest of the world. Also to provide the confidence that money invested in America is safe.
