After WWII, a lot of talent came from Europe to the US, and the US benefited greatly. With the current trend, I could see a lot of unemployed government scientists, and I wouldn't see them going to work for some of these large US companies in the news. So, I wonder if the US will experience a reverse brain drain, with talent going to other countries.
- KingOfCoders 2y agoNot only after WWII, but before. The Nazis made many people flee to the US, e.g. Einstein fled to the US in 1933. For Germany in particular there was a brain drain (and then mass killing of Jews) that devastated German intelligentsia and we never recovered from, look at Nobel Prize laureates before and after the Nazis, artists before and after the Nazis, and on and on goes the list.
