He argues against simply accepting refugees in Europe, suggesting instead that substantial subsidies to businesses can foster economic opportunities in places like Jordan and Turkey. Collier emphasizes the need for innovative strategies that integrate refugees as valuable contributors, focusing on transforming aid into productive investments rather than traditional humanitarian assistance.

Episode notes
Refugee Policy Is Outdated And Costly
- The current global refugee policy is outdated, treating refugees with only humanitarian aid like food and shelter.
- This approach is costly, strips refugees of dignity, and ignores the scale of displacement beyond Europe.
Where Refugees Actually Are
- Most refugees stay in poor neighboring countries, not in Europe.
- Refugees usually cross to nearby safe havens, hoping to return home eventually.
Create Jobs For Refugees Locally
- Help refuge-hosting countries by creating jobs for refugees and locals through subsidizing private companies.
- Let refugees work legally to restore their autonomy and dignity, instead of just giving free aid.
