Wretched Refuse?: The Political Economy of Immigration and Institutions (Cambridge Studies in Economics, Choice, and Society)

Overview

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. Systematic summary of the basic economic case for free immigration in non-specialist language Empirically analyses cross-country and case study evidence for impact of immigration on destination countries Operates a non-ideological nature of investigation
