But seriously
2008-10-06
Many of the same people who failed to foresee the global
financial crisis are now waxing lyrical about the resilience of the
American economy. As it becomes increasingly clear that the
U.S. will in fact suffer the most and the longest from the global
disruptions, more and more Americans - starting with the
richest and the brightest - will seek to emigrate before
exchange controls or perhaps even exit visas are imposed. The
CR is attractive from a number of angles. It's receptive to
foreigners who don't cause trouble; it's population is
homogeneous and won't slide as easily into racial or class
unrest; and it's people are more mentally prepared, given their
historical experiences, for the kind of rationing or monetary
reform that might become necessary. Those looking for
complete safety might prefer the middle of Australia or Siberia,
but as livable havens go, the Czech Republic is hard to beat.
