{"product_id":"wretched-refuse-alex-nowrasteh-9781108477635","title":"Wretched Refuse?: The Political Economy of Immigration and Institutions","description":"Economic arguments favoring increased immigration restrictions suggest that immigrants undermine the culture, institutions, and productivity of destination countries. But is this actually true? Nowrasteh and Powell systematically analyze cross-country evidence of potential negative effects caused by immigration relating to economic freedom, corruption, culture, and terrorism. They analyze case studies of mass immigration to the United States, Israel, and Jordan. Their evidence does not support the idea that immigration destroys the institutions responsible for prosperity in the modern world. This nonideological volume makes a qualified case for free immigration and the accompanying prosperity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Nowrasteh, Benjamin Powell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108477631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108477635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2022","brand":"Alex Nowrasteh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982844625151,"sku":"9781108477635","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1b43d05-09f7-42d6-86c1-ab3d6c57f5d5.jpg?v=1683263318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wretched-refuse-alex-nowrasteh-9781108477635","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
