Exodus: Immigration and Multiculturalism in the 21st Century

Autor Paul Collier
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 oct 2014
Exodusis an insightful, expert foray into the explosive issue of immigration, from Paul Collier, award-winning economist and author ofThe Bottom Billion

Mass international migration is a response to extreme global inequality, and immigration has a profound impact on the way we live. Yet our views - and those of our politicians - remain caught between two extremes: popular hostility to migrants, tinged by xenophobia and racism; and the view of business and liberal elites that 'open doors' are both economically and ethically imperative. With migration set to accelerate, few issues are so urgently in need of dispassionate analysis - and few are more incendiary.

Here, world-renowned economist Paul Collier seeks to defuse this explosive subject.Exoduslooks at how people from the world's poorest societies struggle to migrate to the rich West: the effects on those left behind and on the host societies, and explores the impulses and thinking that inform Western immigration policy. Migration, he concludes, is a fact, and we urgently need to think clearly about its possibilities and challenges: it is not a question of whether migration is good or bad, but how much is best?

Recenzii

Exodusis an important book and one I have been waiting to read for many years ... [it is] a work that is humane and hard-headed about one of the greatest issues of our times
Paul Collier is one of the world's most thoughtful economists. His books consistently illuminate and provoke.Exodusis no exception
Tinged with poignancy ... a humane and sensible voice in a highly toxic debate
Paul Collier's new book on international migration is magisterial. It offers a sophisticated, comprehensive, incisive, multidisciplinary, well-written balance sheet of the pros and cons of immigration for receiving societies, sending societies, and migrants themselves. For everyone on all sides of this contentious issue,Exodusis a "must-read"
[Praise for Paul Collier'sThe Plundered Planet]: A must-read
A path-breaking book
