Not in this day and age. There's too much interconnectivity available through the internet and other media not to mention ease of travel. I think it's better to create a culture of choosing your environment and associations freely.

But they are for 'me', just not directly. One of the reasons Poland is slowly catching up to the West because of relatively low labour cost making having factories here lucrative. Wages from foreign capital are money that come from outside and stay inside to drive local economy. Of course investor is the one that profits most but the positive side effects for others are far from negligible.
>their life quality has changed because their government enforced unpayable tax for chinese citizens who make more than 2 babies.
Maybe this will make my point clearer: babies are an investment. It takes a while for an investment to pay off but if you don't invest you keep your money which you can spend on quality of life improvements. Now talking in general which is the more economically healthy practice? Hoarding/spending or investing? Maybe you'll say: "Now they can invest in education." - okay, but they're far behind tech giants, educated workers require higher pay which in turn will cause investors to pack up and move to Africa and in turn economic growth rate to go down. In other words it's only a short term boost.
Genuine, steady economic growth comes mostly through manpower because, again, it's people that create content. At least until robot apocalypse.
