{"product_id":"exodus-paul-collier-9780190231484","title":"Exodus: How Migration Is Changing Our World","description":"It is one of the most pressing and controversial questions of our time -- vehemently debated, steeped in ideology, profoundly divisive. Who should be allowed to immigrate and who not? What are the arguments for and against limiting the numbers? We are supposedly a nation of immigrants, and yet our policies reflect deep anxieties and the quirks of short-term self-interest, with effective legislation snagging on thousand-mile-long security fences and the question of how long and arduous the path to citizenship should be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eExodus\u003c\/em\u003e, Paul Collier, the world-renowned economist and bestselling author of\u003cem\u003e The Bottom Billion\u003c\/em\u003e, clearly and concisely lays out the effects of encouraging or restricting migration. Drawing on original research and case studies, he explores this volatile issue from three perspectives: that of the migrants themselves, that of the people they leave behind, and that of the host societies where they relocate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eImmigration is a simple economic equation, but its effects are complex. \u003cem\u003eExodus\u003c\/em\u003e confirms how crucial it will be that public policy face and address all of its ramifications. Sharply written and brilliantly clarifying, \u003cem\u003e Exodus\u003c\/em\u003e offers a provocative analysis of an issue that affects us all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Collier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190231483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190231484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Paul Collier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046711357695,"sku":"9780190231484","price":18.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d9a8b730-386d-4c18-bfc8-b4daa8b28d20.jpg?v=1684986036","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exodus-paul-collier-9780190231484","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
