naomiysl 's review for:
Open Borders: The Science and Ethics of Immigration
by Bryan Caplan
On the whole, I'm not sure I want my TED-talk-style policy essays in the form of graphic novels. I was sold on the merits of the argument essentially before starting reading, but in some ways he unconvinced me. Mostly by failing to acknowledge that deep and crippling poverty exists in first world countries. If he'd mentioned it and then made the argument that the global poor in 3rd world countries have it worse off, I would have probably agreed with that, but I would have liked him to acknowledge it. Also, more wealth is treated as an unquestioned good, without any using any other measures of wellbeing. I would like to hear what other economists think on the subject. I was interested enough taht I want to read more on the subject,t so that's a win. And the illustrations are very well done, even though i thought the format ill-fitting to the subject matter.
