UAE and Utopia

Bryan Caplan, Bet On It, Oct 22, 2024

This has nothing to do with online learning (except tangentially with the recent debates about student visas in my country) but I need to create a post to test a bug fix and I do have an opinion on this. Not on the UAE, or even on the United States, but on the debate described here on the subject "Does open borders benefit humanity by reducing poverty and boosting the economy?" I believe it does (and so does Bryan Caplan in this article). And it seems to me that we cannot have freedom - real freedom, which applies equally to all people - until humans can move about the planet at least as freely as goods and capital.
