A capitalist invests capital where there is a reasonable expectation of strong returns. When the safety of that capital or the stability of those returns is threatened, it is prudent to withdraw and redirect the investment to a more secure environment. This principle applies across neighbourhoods, regions, and entire countries. Persistent labour strikes, low productivity, political instability, or high crime rates can undermine profitability and confidence, often compelling investors to relocate their operations or close their businesses altogether. Ultimately, capital seeks stability, efficiency, and growth, and it will always flow towards environments that minimise risk while maximising opportunity.
