Global Migration and the World Economy: Two Centuries of Policy and Performance
World mass migration began in the early nineteenth century, when advances in transportation technology and industrial revolutions at home enabled increasing numbers of people to set off for other parts of the globe in search of a better life. Two centuries later, there is no distant Asian, African, or Latin American village that is not within reach of some high-wage OECD labor market. This book is the first comprehensive economic assessment of world mass migration taking a long-run historical perspective, including north-north, south-south, and south-north migrations. Timothy Hatton and Jeffrey Williamson, both economists and economic historians, consider two centuries of global mobility, assessing its impact on the migrants themselves as well as on the sending and receiving countries.

Even if she had to disguise herself as a young boy, escape from an ambushed caravan, figure out what to do with a ten-year-old slave and a dancing bear that she accidentally acquired, convince a persistent professional thief that she is not looking for treasure, and somehow convince her lover's fellow dragons that it is perfectly...
