    That is a simplistic and misleading interpretation of history and current events with one or two good points. Middle Eastern Muslim and Greek scientists influenced Victorian-age scientists, more than anyone else, leaving a lasting impression on the modern age. Eastern brain drain has a lot more to do with a myriad of local issues such as low pay, corruption, lack of work, etc.

      Corruption is everywhere, in equal amount. Middle east science came from east. Low pay is due to currency conversion, nothing else. West is in positive cycle now so brain drain happening. Brain drain is actively encouraged through various means by western politicians because they can only find MBAs in west now. This will bring in tech thiefs also. Get used to it. This tsunami will drown all MBAs. Remember Nokia phone operations? All moved to Taiwan, legally. Nothing will stay in west if MBA stays the most preferred earning medium.
