Nigel Harris shows exactly how and why immigration is the lifeline of the developed world's economy, making both the rich and the poor richer. There have been poor countries and rich countries since countries first began, but only in the 20th century--the century of nationalisms and ethnic cleansings--have controls been implemented to stop movement between them. In this survey of immigration throughout the world, Harris examines the net effects of population change on income, employment, wealth, growth, and their areas.

Review
". . . of particular interest to academics, students and practitioners in the fields of International Relations and Immigration Law."--KnowEurope
"Floods of migrants will steal our jobs, drive down wage levels, sponge off our welfare system, compete for public services and provoke rascism, xenophobia and ultimately political instability. Nigel Harris's book tackles these fears head-on. . . . This book deserves to be read by all. . . " -- Nuala Haughey, Irish Times
"thought-provoking and refreshingly forthright"
--Foreign Affairs
