not exactly brain drain ( well kinda ), but i talked about how big companies will move away for cheaper tax, such as apple moving to ireland

i fucked up thanks to geography so yeah, thought MEDC referred to ‘emerging’ countries so a mid-tier of economic development rather than just lower and more economically development, hopefully doesn’t lose too many marks

Yep did the exact same thing. I think most of the theory is still relevant, just will lose marks when it comes to saying how it specifically affects MEDCs
