Open Borders: The Science and Ethics of Immigration

@robertwiblin @bryan_caplan Caplan argues that one reason open borders could benefit developing countries is through remittances. But if it’s easier to bring your family with you when you migrate, you don’t send money back home. Could that be an argument for “liberalized immigration” over open borders?

Scott Alexander’s review of How Asia Works is good; I read the book a few months ago and it changed my worldview in many ways. I don’t think the book is perfect (e.g. on the effects of Chinese land reform, or explaining Malaysian economic growth) though. https://t.co/oTzs4XVUw2
