Actually, US GDP per capita has held and is increasing. <Rest coming down. We coming up. We will meet in the middle. Not decide yet where the 'middle' is. > It seems logical that money would flow downhill but because of the relative problems of different countries, it doesn't work out like that.

For example, hiring people in Zimbabwe would be cheap, but making an investment there is likely to see the investment stolen. Same as in Venezuela. Same as in many countries.

Our Japanese 'son' was a manager of a Japanese division in China years ago, but although it was theoretically cheaper to have a factory there, they gave up and moved it back to Japan where VVV [tm] are more the norm. It can be simply too hard and too expensive to set up shop in theoretically cheaper countries.
