Dear Everybody, I'm not aware of any company in which the employees and the investments and the customers are all more or less evenly distributed around the globe. So when we buy a stock we have to consider the principal national environment in which the company is embedded. So, other things being equal, which countries have the most favorable outlook? Obviously there are many factors, but I think a primary, supreme factor is the rate at which effective public expenditures on education are rising. Effective, because, for example, expenditure on football teams does not result in any increase of productive ability. Public, because taxes are where the money is; private support of education never takes care of the great mass of people. Private donations to effective education are limited. An educated populace understands the scientific method and demands proof for assertions. The better the education in a country, the fewer people you can fool. The better the education the more able employees you can find. Any suggestions about 1. countries where the educational level is improving most rapidly and 2. countries where the educational level is currently the highest?
