Owners of capital move it to those locations they prefer, often those locations where they believe it will be well treated and provide the owner with good returns. Owners of capital don't "spread it around" to suit the needs of others in less developed nations. These locations generally mistreat capital and have long term structural problems which result in long term returns which fail to match initial expectations, or even match more predictable returns in more developed economies. If the return on investment is so phenomenal over time, then Brazil and other less developed economies already have large amounts of capital, as capital is merely savings which result from profitable investments and labor. If Brazil, or other less developed economies, do not have these large stores of capital it is only because their economy has not actually provided the sort of profitable returns which result in capital stores. .

As long as you agree that the owner of the capital should be the person to decide where to spread it, fine. They will, if they are managing it properly, of course spread it to the people who need it to do good things. When I was about aged 8, my brother and I had a bomb club. I put up the money and he put up the brains. My capital went to the person who needed the work to do the thing I wanted done and who knew how to do what I wanted done. I learned then that it was a good system. So, for decades, I have put up the money and other people like you who need the work climb the poles to install my amazing CDMA systems, invented by Dr Irwin Jacobs and his merry men and I paid to do it. Of course I put capital where it gets the biggest bang for my buck. Which means where people need it badly, such as in China and India. But only on condition that it be respected, meaning I will get my capital back together with the enormous profits that come from helping people who really want help. Most people and countries don't respect capital, which is why they have trouble attracting capital. Mqurice
