Exodus: how migration changes our world. Collier P.

This is one of the most pressing and controversial issues of our time, causing hot disputes and deeply saturated with ideology. Who should be allowed to immigrate, but who does not? What are the arguments for and against the restriction of the number of immigrants? In the “Exodus”, the outstanding economist Paul Collier clearly and concisely describes the consequences of stimulating or containing migration. Based on the original study and numerous reviews of specific cases, he considers this problem from three points of view: the migrants themselves, the people they left, and the societies in which they immigrate. As Collier shows, immigrants from the poorest countries of the world are usually the most educated and ambitious. And although these people often achieve economic success, leaving their native countries, they also deprive these countries of professionals in which they acutely need. In the absence of control, immigration can only accelerate: the poorest countries will face real mass. Immigration is a simple economic equation, but it has complex consequences. The Exodus shows how important immigration and its consequences for state policy in the coming years and decades will be. The book was published with the support of the Liberal Mission Foundation.
