>One seemingly simple policy could make the world twice as rich as it is: open borders.
In this utopian paradise the author describes is he willfully ignoring the fact that different cultures exist? Not all cultures are equal, no matter what the current narrative tells you. This is a terrible, empty article.
>If lots of people migrated from war-torn Syria, gangster-plagued Guatemala or chaotic Congo, would they bring mayhem with them? It is an understandable fear (and one that anti-immigrant politicians play on), but there is little besides conjecture and anecdotal evidence to support it.
Alright now this empty article turned insidious.
- smrtinsert 9y agoThe article doesn't purport to understand or comprehend cultural differences, it's simply exploring the economic case. It's not call The Culturalist. For an empty article, you've had a very strong reaction to it.

Everybody knows mass immigration from problematic parts of the world brings a huge burden on the host population.

- artursapek 9y agoIt's true of Europe today. There are a lot of differences between the two obviously.
