HOW MIGRATION REALLY WORKS - HEIN DE HAAS KARTO...

Authoritative and myth-busting  this is the one book you need to read to understand why we've
been wrong about migration 'An important book that will force Left and Right alike to
reconsider old assumptions' The Telegraph'This book should be falling out of briefcases all
over Westminster' Tortoise Media 'Careful  balanced and convincing . . . challenges much of
what we think is obvious about migration' Ian Morris  author of Why the West Rules - For Now
----------------------------------- Global migration is not at an all-time high. Climate change
will not lead to mass migration. Immigration mainly benefits the wealthy  not workers. Border
restrictions have paradoxically produced more migration. These statements might sound
counter-intuitive or just outright wrong - but the facts behind the headlines reveal a
completely different story to the ones we're told about migration. In this ground-breaking and
revelatory book  based on more than three decades of research  leading expert Professor Hein de
Haas explodes myths espoused by both left and right that politicians  interest groups and media
regularly spread about migration. Comparing trends and perspectives from Western 'destination
countries' (UK  US and Europe) as well as 'origin countries' in Asia  Africa and Latin America
de Haas equips readers with essential knowledge on migration based on the best evidence and
data  showing migration not as a problem to be solved  nor as a solution to a problem  but as
it really is. Above all  How Migration Really Works offers a new vision of migration based on
facts rather than fears  and a paradigm-altering understanding of this perennially important
subject.
