The aeroplane and exchangeable currency and its impact on the world

I think the aeroplane and borderless currency has had a far greater impact on the world than we believe. From observation it has made the greatest changes to patriotic behavior even for the very people whose wealth is tied up in this.

I observe that possible short term thinking in human beings, the bane of having to work at keeping your business regardless of your wealth (not saying that working is bad except that we do not impute the more important wealth of family in these calculations ie even the very wealthy give up their families for the sake of maintaining their empires) results in us making decisions that actually damage our own wealth - this observation is reserved for the very wealthy only as we (the other people) have no say in the whole thing anyway.

Aeroplanes have made the world essentially borderless. We can travel to any country we wish in only a matter of hours and if wealthy enough, with exchangable currencies, live there and move all our monetary wealth out of the place of origin. I observe that the impact of this is a lessening of patriotic behavior or care for the country of ones origin. The real impact of this is that one can actually lose the very engine that provides ones wealth.

This may be a progression but maybe we are throwing, as we always do, to much out. Maybe we need both as both are wealths in themselves. I also think that this may be an unconscious thing.
