Subject: Throughout history, migrants have fueled the engine of human progress. Their movement has sparked innovation, spread ideas, relieved poverty, and laid the foundations for a global economy. In a world more interconnected than ever before, the number of people with the means and motivation to migrate will only increase. Exceptional People provides a long-term and global perspective on the implications and policy options for societies the world over. Challenging the received wisdom that a dramatic growth in migration is undesirable, the book proposes new approaches for governance that will embrace this international mobility. https://www.amazon.com/Exceptional-People-Migration-Shaped-Define/dp/069115631X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9780691156316&qid=1597250483&s=books&sr=1-1
