Open Borders: The Science and Ethics of Immigration (Book)

"Open Borders: The Science and Ethics of Immigration" by Bryan Caplan explores the idea that removing immigration restrictions can benefit both migrants and native populations. The book combines economic research with ethical arguments to show that opening borders can boost global prosperity, reduce poverty, and respect individual freedom of movement. It examines common concerns—like cultural impacts or economic strain—and argues that open immigration is both a morally justifiable and beneficial policy. Caplan advocates for more welcoming borders, emphasizing that allowing free movement aligns with fairness and maximizing human potential.
