People get the government they deserve: or is it the other way round?

It is said that people get the government they deserve.  This must be true of societies that are cut off from the rest of the world and offer little mobility to their denizens.  However the present age of jets zipping across global village, instant communication through various data and voice networks and universally accepted globalization, has made the saying stand on its head.  Today capital and talent moves from areas with bad governance to those with good governance.

Thus if you govern well you will attract the best human resources and your economy will bloom.  The quality of your governance will ultimately be reflected in the society / country / population that you govern.   By the same token, you neglect governance you will be left with a poor economy and poorer human resources.  And even if you are a country with an iron curtain and don't allow movements, the capital and talent will simply rot and turn putrid.

"Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him." -  Matthew 13:12

My dear netas, you stand advised.
