Recenzii
Praise for the First Edition:
It is the best book on geographic mobility and exit that has been written to date, and... I am happy to recommend it heartily.
In this excellent book, Somin makes a compelling case that migration
Ilya Somin shows that mobility
First rate.
Free to Move shows that foot voting works better than we think, is more common than we think, and that there are many opportunities to improve political freedom by encouraging foot voting.... Chapter 5.... convincingly rejects both individualistic and communitarian arguments that self-determination can justify the exclusion of people. It offers as clear and convincing a rejection of discrimination based on parentage and place of birth as this author has ever seen... One of the outstanding features of the book is that it is robust to criticism. The reason is that Somin deals with potential critiques in a fair way. There are no straw person arguments.
A powerful book.
Ilya Somin's book is terrific.
Ilya Somin gives the reader a theory of Federalism writ (internationally) large: A great book.
Immigration policy is the most debated and controversial issue of our time....Related to these political and policy developments is the perceived partisan sorting of voters into different geographic regions, the rise of.... identity politics, and a general sense of deepening political polarization.... Ilya Somin deftly combines these issues into one forceful thesis in his new book, Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom. There are many new books about immigration, but Somin's is the only one that argues that the ability to exit a political jurisdiction and enter another... is the cheapest and best way to improve individual political freedom.... I've read many of Somin's other books and I recommend them all, but if you only have time to read one work by this prolific scholar to understand much of his thinking on current policy issues, Free to Move is the book for you.
[I] don't agree with some points, but a lot of really smart and clear arguments here, and some particularly great ripostes to common anti-migration positions.
Somin offers a compelling and ingenious justification for free global movement ... The book's combination of rigorous thought and engaging argument makes Free to Move a must-read for those interested in the future of immigration law and policy.
This eminently readable, tightly-argued, and compelling book is a model for how empirically-informed democratic theory ought to proceed. Somin shows us that in modern democracies, even when everyone has equal voice, that voice is usually close to worthless. Taking political freedom seriously requires a serious solution: foot voting. We need to ensure everyone has the right and power to move and work where they please. Exit beats voice almost every time, and the competition isn't even close. Somin deftly considers and rebuts every major objection to his view. In the end, the conclusion is inescapable: the arguments for democracy don't so much justify participatory democracy; they instead justify real freedom of movement.
Many find majority voting with ballots to be the highest guarantor of liberty. They may never have found themselves in the minority on a question vital to their well-being. Ilya Somin brilliantly and accessibly points to the central, additional role of voting with your feet
Ilya Somin has done it again, producing a compelling new book, rich with insights about democratic theory, law, and economics. Free to Move takes a familiar idea
