How do capital flight and deindustrialization affect high-income economies?
What will be an ideal response?
Capital flight—the movement of jobs and economic resources from one nation to
another—negatively affects high-income economies because transnational corporations
have found a ready-and-willing pool of workers worldwide to perform jobs for lower
wages. In the United States and other industrialized nations, the process of
deindustrialization—the closing of plants and factories because of their obsolescence or
the movement of work to other regions of the country or to other nations—has
contributed to shifts in the global marketplace.
