Talent trade can be mutually beneficial for both parties by increasing the flow of goods and services, even knowledge.Jim Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078184665418828961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29127973.post-53737448503787175172013-03-08T19:24:43.845-05:002013-03-08T19:24:43.845-05:00I agree.

But can you get organizations to think less in business terms (i.e. - what return can we expect on this investment) and more like a charity? <br /><br />Can economic development be designed as if Mother Teresa were at the helm? :)Done By Fortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06246597867355460723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29127973.post-66574252799284230842013-03-08T17:09:18.794-05:002013-03-08T17:09:18.794-05:00The point of measuring income per natural is to tr...The point of measuring income per natural is to track the economic development of people instead of the economic development of places.

The boomerang probably takes a while to get back, in any case.
