Exodus

Exodus is an important book and one I have been waiting to read for many years … [it is] a work that is humane and hard-headed about one of the greatest issues of our times – David Goodhart * Sunday Times *Paul Collier is one of the world’s most thoughtful economists. His books consistently illuminate and provoke. Exodus is no exception * The Economist *Tinged with poignancy … a humane and sensible voice in a highly toxic debate – Colin Kidd * Guardian *Paul Collier’s new book on international migration is magisterial. It offers a sophisticated, comprehensive, incisive, multidisciplinary, well-written balance sheet of the pros and cons of immigration for receiving societies, sending societies, and migrants themselves. For everyone on all sides of this contentious issue, Exodus is a “must-read” – Robert D. Putnam, Professor of Public Policy, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University[Praise for Paul Collier’s The Plundered Planet]: A must-read * Sunday Times *A path-breaking book – George Soros
