• Vivek Wadhwa, an academic at Duke, Harvard, and UC Berkeley describes the departure of well educated immigrant students back to their homelands instead of staying, working and growing new businesses or developing new technology in the U.S.. Might that have something to do with the defunct state of Venture Capital?
• Holland has the lowest unemployment of any other country in the Eurozone with 4%. Yet unless you can ride a bike to work, I cannot see how a country with such massively clogged up highways can turn a low economic deficit into a sustainable advantage. Sixteen million people and growing on a postage size landmass (mostly below sea-level) will pose significant impending economic problems.
