<blockquote>"<strong>What do we make of an economy in which a handful of bubblicious urban areas are magnets for jobs and capital while rural communities have been hollowed out?</strong> The short answer is that this progression of urbanization has been one of the core dynamics of civilization for thousands of years: opportunities are greater in cities, and so people move from rural areas with few opportunities to cities with greater opportunities.

<strong>But that's not the only dynamic hollowing out America's rural communities: globalization plays a key role, too.</strong> Rural economies can rarely muster <em>economies of scale</em> that enable globally competitive enterprises. Rural communities generally lack the capital, expertise, global supply chains and cheap transportation costs that are the building blocks of successful global production and distribution." <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-10-26/globalization-has-hollowed-out-rural-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Read more...</span></a></blockquote>
