{"product_id":"9780199913107","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.  In \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.  Immigration 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.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120155836656,"sku":"9780199913107","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780199913107_p0.jpg?v=1765232781","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780199913107","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
