Exodus: how migration changes our world

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 doesn’t? What are the arguments for and against restricting the number of immigrants? In the "outcome", the outstanding economist Paul Collier clearly and concisely describes the consequences of stimulating or restraining 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 a real mass outcome. Immigration is a simple economic equation, but it has complex consequences. The outcome shows how important immigration and its consequences for state policy will be in the coming years and decades. The book was published with the support of the Foundation "Liberal Mission"
