Really enjoyed The Shortest History of Migration- drawing on published research, spanning earliest known human history, across empires, conflicts, & colonialism up to the current data, politics, and practices in 2024.
Dense and fast paced.

I highly recommend this concise and informative book on migration, by @iangoldin.bsky.social.

It makes the very compelling case that migration has been an integral part of humanity, and that it benefits the countries that receive immigrants.

Migration might be a polarizing issue at the moment, but as
@iangoldin.bsky.social writes in his terrific new book, “The Shortest History of Migration,” humans have always been on the move. Goldin shows the many ways in which migration strengthens countries and drives growth.

The disconnect between the economic reality of migration and rising anti-immigration sentiment is striking, especially since surveys show little correlation between a country’s migrant intake and public attitudes, notes @oxmartinschool.bsky.social’s @iangoldin.bsky.social. bit.ly/4fQrstZ

Fascinating fireside chat with @iangoldin.bsky.social at the #cfgFlagship:
What can we learn from history about disruptive technologies?
- They can amplify ideas, for better or worse (e.g., the Gutenberg press).
- They often create wealth but deepen inequality.
- They face resistance
