Distributing the US GDP amongst the world population would amount to less than $2700 per person per year. OH WHAT AN END TO POVERTY!

Date: April 9th, 2019 10:00 AM Author: Unholy twinkling sneaky criminal Not endorsing the book, but I imagine that the idea is similar to the work of Moretti, Glaeser, and other economists looking at internal migration. The premise is that wages are higher in some places than in others because workers in those places are more productive. So by allowing people to move to places that are more productive, you increase overall average productivity and GDP.
Think of NYC as an example. Its GDP per capita didn't fall by 90% when its population increased tenfold. In fact, its higher population actually led to higher productivity and higher wages. Economists have shown that big compact cities actually have higher productivity/wages because their size allows more specialized labor markets and other agglomeration effects. |

Date: April 9th, 2019 10:12 AM Author: Vermilion Sinister Lodge Again, I'm not endorsing this view, but just laying out what the argument would be from the open-borders economist's perspective:
According to urban economists, housing costs are a consequence not of being in a concentrated area, but of zoning restrictions. Most major American cities are surrounded by rings of single-family homes where it's illegal to build even duplexes or small apartment buildings or even single-family houses on small lots, even next to mass transit stations. This results in a supply-demand imbalance. Housing costs in Tokyo plummeted after they liberalized their zoning regime in the past decade.
School overcrowding should theoretically not be an issue, since the higher GDP per capita should allow construction of more schools without increasing tax burdens.
Environmentally, dense cities enable mass transit which is not viable at lower densities as well as shorter average commutes which results in less vehicle miles traveled and lower pollution.
I'd say the most compelling argument against this, at least in a place like NYC, is that it presumes a government that is functional enough to build schools and transit and other infrastructure to provide for expansion of population. The US seems incapable of building shit recently. |

To be fair much of it is open, just with no welfare state for non citizens (which is what open borders libertarians want). |

Date: April 9th, 2019 8:29 AM Author: Sepia menage It's amazing how they present themselves as having covered every angle from a rationalist point of view (without calling opponents raciss, etc.), where the elephant in the room they do not address is whether or not shithole societies are the way they are because of the immutable characteristics of the RACE of people living there. In fact, one panel argues that low-IQ immigration is BENEFICIAL. So yes they have a huge blind spot. |
