Immigrants: Your Country Needs Them
Shortlisted for the 2007Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award"Mr. Legrain performs an invaluable service; he makes a good case for the unpopular cause of free flows of people. The book is a superb combination of direct reportage with detailed analysis of the evidence."--Martin Wolf,Financial Times"Mr. Legrain has assembled powerful evidence to undermine the economic arguments against immigration."--Economist"In all important respects Legrain is right on target…. In the context of the fearful chatter that surrounds the subject, sense as good as this needs cherishing."--Guardian"Immigrantsboldly challenges the conventional thinking at every turn. [Legrain] makes a powerful case that free movement of people is just as beneficial as the free movement of goods and capital. The book is carefully written; the argumentation is never slapdash stuff of the xenophobes. [A]n extraordinary book, making the best case I have ever read for an open-border policy."--George C. Leef,Regulation Magazine
