ElM I've been in the capital investment and accumulation and distribution business for 70 years, starting small and at one stage up to $billions.

The silly thing about that article is to test capital movement as a great big lumpy thing caused by a few definable parameters.

People move money to where they think best from their instantaneous point of view at any particular moment. Trillions of money movement decisions are made daily, even if many of them are on autopilot as monthly message payments, or salary payments.

As the infinite array of variables change, flow of money changes too. Distinguishing between capital flow, expense flow or some other jargon is silly really. Money is moving whatever you call it.

When somewhere goes bad like South Africa choosing to be ruled by criminal kleptocratic and corrupt dummies, money flow goes away. Same in Rhodesia, Argentina, USSR, England as the great and glorious British Empire failed, Aotearoa-Zimbabwe.

Fancy money talk about capital won't make it good. Virtuous Victorian Values make countries good. Measure those and see the correlation with countries zooming ahead where the VVVs are excellent.

I just checked GDP per Capita by country. It's complicated. My theory needs fine tuning, or coarse course correction. But there's plenty to the idea if not perfect fit.

Suffice to say there's good reason for capital flows all over the place looking for safety and returns.
