'I’m an American, not an American’t.'

In this graphic novel economist, Bryan Caplan, presents a compelling case for open borders, envisioning a world where anyone can live anywhere, provided they follow local laws. He argues that open borders would significantly boost global productivity and wealth, even proposing that such a policy could swiftly eliminate poverty worldwide.

"Would we really be a richer society if we kept half the population stuck at home? Isn’t it better to take people who have useful skills and let them do something with them, rather than keeping them in places where their abilities go unused?"- Bryan Caplan
