Grantham describes some of the work of Richard Florida, author of "The Rise 
of the Creative Class", which  indicates a net flow of creative people out 
of the USA.  Professor Florida's central argument is that the United 
States, once a global attractor of talent, is losing that position. And he 
points out the clear correlation between creativity and competitiveness. In 
short, if the United States doesn't do something to reverse this "brain 
drain" it is currently experiencing, it stands a very good chance of losing 
its competitive edge in the global economy.
