Why Capital Is Migrating East: An Executive Brief on Governance Design, Incentive Drift, and the Structural Logic of Dubai
A condensed strategic brief examining why global capital is reallocating eastward. This executive summary distills the structural argument behind governance design, incentive drift, and institutional legibility — and why systems like Dubai’s are attracting mobile capital in an era of coordination overload. A systems-level analysis informed by Polybius and Plato, focused on architecture rather than ideology.
Why Capital Is Migrating East: Polybius, Plato, and the Design Logic of Dubai
This long-form white paper examines the structural logic behind global capital reallocation in the 21st century. Drawing on the political theory of Polybius and Plato, it analyzes how late-stage open democracies experience incentive drift, coordination overload, and institutional noise — and why designed systems with centralized vision and legal modularity are increasingly attractive to mobile global capital.
Using Dubai as a modern case study, the paper explores governance architecture, role differentiation, legibility, and structural coherence as decisive variables in capital migration. This is not a civilizational argument, but a systems analysis of how incentive alignment, predictability, and institutional design shape long-horizon capital allocation decisions.
