The International Mobility of Talent

Globalization has many faces but it essentially refers to the movements of goods, capital (real or financial), and people (skilled or unskilled).To an increasing extent, it refers to growing contacts among people. These movements and contacts bring with them exchanges of ideas and techniques that can promote welfare. This interesting book brings the knowledge and sophistication of first rate economists to the analysis of the globalization of talent and assesses its various and not always obvious consequences.
