This book is important as it sheds light on those individuals who have been educated in their countries and after they have completed their studies, decide to move to foreign countries to further their studies hence decide to remain in the host country after competing studies. There are many reasons to believe that migration of skilled individuals makes it difficult to the countries of origin and to the communities, because they cannot retain their ＂best brightest minds＂ and maintain a high intellectual standard as result of migration. It is worth noting that if the majority of intellectuals migrate, it is going to be difficult for the young and upcoming professionals who want to follow the same career to get the best training and work experience and still remain in home countries that desperately need these skills to advance their economy. Not only do the country of origin loses its intellectual standard, but its tax paying capability is reduced which may lead up to a higher taxation to make up for those who have migrated.
