Capitalism was the core economic philosophy of the 20th century because capital was the scarcest resource for most of the century. The scarce resource of the next century will be talent. Not just absolute talent but talent in the right geographic location.There are four fundamental components to understanding the potential for talent arbitrage and risk The type of skill set, the industry subset, the geographic location and the relative macro and micro economic strength of the respective geography.
