Fop 1 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It's an interesting point though. Especially when you consider things like immigration. A £100,000 gives maybe 5 imported people a decent standard of living in the UK, yet that same £100,000 if used sensibly can raise 1000's of people standards of living by a vast amount in their own countries. Of course the downside can be the unintended consequences, like reducing child death and ending up with a population explosion which increases general mortality and reduces overall living standards no matter how much money you throw at it.

ChezGiven 0 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 imported people Interesting point though. Difference for me is, the 100k spent in the UK remains within the Uk economy and is then spent by its recipients, who then spend it too, who then spend it too etc. Its called the multiplier and is the foundation of Keynesianism. Send it abroad and its a dead loss to the domestic economy, spend it here and there are broader benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
