So a country where labor productivity is low will become an attractive location for foreign direct investment, and the resulting increase in the capital-labor ratio will raise productivity. Wherever one looks, using Marshall’s toolkit, one sees economic equilibrium pulling things back to normal, compensating for and attenuating the effects of shocks and disturbances.
因此，一个劳动生产力低的国家会吸引外国直接投资，接着资金和劳动力比率的上升会提高生产力。运用马歇尔的理论，不论你看向何处，都会看到经济平衡将一切拖回原状，补偿和削弱所有震动与干扰的影响。
