The Economics of Immigration shows that immigration could
significantly boost world GDP, does little to impact the
job prospects or wages of the native born population, has
little net fiscal impact, and that immigrants are not
assimilating more slowly than prior generations.

2 Guillen, Mauro F
The Architecture of collapse : the global system in the
21st century / Mauro F Guillen.-- United Kingdom: Oxford
University Press, 2015.

Why are there so many crises in the world? Is it true
that the global system is today riskier and more
dangerous than in past decades? Do we have any tools at
our disposal to bring these problems under control, to
reduce the global system-s proneness to instability?
These are the tantalising questions addressed in this
book. Using a variety of demographic, economic,
financial, social, and political indicators, the book
demonstrates that the global system has indeed become an
-architecture of collapse- subject to a variety of
shocks. An analysis of the global financial crisis of
2008, the bilateral relationship between the U.S. and
China, and the European sovereign debt crisis illustrates
how the complexity and tight coupling of system
components creates a situation of precarious stability
and periodic disruption. This state of affairs can only
be improved by enhancing the shock-absorbing components
of the system, especially the capacity of states and
governments to act, and by containing the shock-diffusing
mechanisms. In particular, those related to phenomena
such as trade imbalances, portfolio investment, cross-
border banking, population ageing, and income and wealth
inequality.
