Exodus

Bold and opinionated - the essential book on the current refugee crisis. In light of the hundreds of thousands of refugees currently streaming into Germany and other countries in Europe, few questions are as pressing as that of immigration. Are we allowed to turn people away at the border and send them back to their home countries, even when there is war, poverty, and hunger? In his highly acclaimed book "Exodus," development economist Paul Collier provides new, surprising answers. His insights are indispensable for the ongoing debate about refugees and immigration. Who is allowed to enter the country and who is not? Do we benefit from immigration, or does the mass exodus only help the migrants themselves? Paul Collier explores the costs and benefits of global migration: for the host countries (especially in Europe) and for the immigrants.
