A VITALLY IMPORTANT BOOK CHALLENGING THE MANY MISCONCEPTIONS SURROUNDING THE TOPIC OF
IMMIGRATION. 'A book that will force Left and Right alike to reconsider old assumptions . .
. an important book' The Telegraph 'A careful balanced and convincing take . . . challenges
much of what we think is obvious about migration' Ian Morris author of Why The West Rules -
For Now ------------------------------ Authoritative and myth-busting this is the one book
you need to read to understand why we've been wrong about migration - perfect for fans of Tim
Marshall's Prisoners of Geography 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 from left to right that politicians interest
groups and media regularly spread about migration. Above all How Migration Really Works
offers a new vision of global migration based on facts rather than fears and a
paradigm-altering understanding of this perennially important subject.
