Capital Flight and Deindustrialization
Captions available
The idea
Capital flight is investment, jobs, and infrastructure moving out of a nation; the anchor treats deindustrialization, loss of the manufacturing base, as its direct consequence for high-income nations.
In practice
A factory relocated abroad takes its jobs and its tax base with it, and the region rarely replaces them quickly.
Where people slip
This is a mechanism of persistence, and it explains continuation rather than origin.
