If, say, a megarich person who only operated their business in that country left, would the economic system be hurt after the initial shock wore off? They aren’t like doing charity work; in principle it’s either net zero into and out of their companies or producing value by the function of the company, and if the latter then shouldn’t whatever niche they occupied before be quickly filled? I don’t really understand the economic logic, and I’d genuinely appreciate an explanation because maybe I’m just not informed.
