Who Needs Borderless Nations If You Have Borderless People?
AUGUST 4, 2018
The market thrives on competition. And governments are inherent monopolies. By its nature, a government monopolizes certain powers within particular borders.
But now more than ever, governments must compete with each other for residents. The best and brightest have options. And they can bounce around to countless jurisdictions before they find the right fit.
From cryptocurrency millionaires in Puerto Rico to digital nomads in hotspots like Thailand, Indonesia, and Colombia, there is increasingly a view that there is a marketplace for governance, and we hold the power as consumers. Much like choosing a cereal from the breakfast department of a supermarket, highly-skilled professionals are now comparing governments online — and making clear-headed choices based on which ones are most convenient and have the greatest amenities available.
Of course, immigration is nothing new. But in past centuries, it was a slow process and there were fewer realistic options.
Now online tools exist that make comparing possible destinations easy.
Jobbatical lists jobs all over the world. But it also offers tools to help people make the move. You get support in making the move, so that the change isn’t so… well, foreign. They focus on companies who are searching the globe for the right talent, and ready and willing to bring that talent to them.
Nomad List lets you explore destinations with filters for all sorts of criteria. It offers a database of cities with countless data points and a network of other digital nomads.
These and other tools are assisting the “consumers” to find the best-fit government.
And in response, governments are finally feeling the market pressures of their policies.
