The freedom of movement is a marker of political liberty.
Some people (but by no means everyone) are better off away from their family and the town where they grew up.
Imagine that you are the fourth generation to move far away from your patents, as I am. There is not some community in which I have generational roots…and it was the prospect of conscription by the Tsar’s army that started it all.
Not capitalism.
For me, employment someplace far away was the way out of where we weren’t from and that wasn’t for us.
Some people have a reason to stay. Those reasons are sometimes the reasons for other people to leave.
