Hub Dialogues: Ian Goldin on why welcoming migrants makes economic sense

Professor of Globalization and Development at Oxford University Ian Goldin’s new book, The Shortest History of Migration, challenges many of the negative assumptions about migrants behind Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric and policies. In fact, he argues the opposite is true: migrants contribute significantly to job creation and growth, and countries who ignore this reality do so at their own peril.
