Review
"An original, bracing, and controversial re-thinking of the 'brain drain.' A good test for those who think they know everything about immigration." -- Michael Novak, George Frederick Jewett Scholar in Religion, Philosophy, and Public Policy at the American Enterprise Institute
"This book represents a challenge to the teaching Church from two Catholic scholars whose faith convictions run deep and whose knowledge of Catholic Social Teaching is impressive." -- William J. Byron, S.J., former President, Catholic University & author of The Power of Principles: Ethics in the New Corporate Culture
"This impressively researched and compassionate book makes the case that today's migrants can often do more to fulfill their obligations to help their families and home communities as migrants--through remittances, investment, and know-how--than if they remained at home. It raises important questions not only for Catholics, but for anyone who is concerned about the ethical implications of migration policies." -- Kathleen Newland, Director, Migration Policy Institute
"This is a ground-breaking book, and should be read by everybody who cares about the interplay between migration and development. Pistone and Hoeffner detail the contributions that skilled workers make to economic development and poverty reduction in their nations of origin. In an era characterized by globalization, they see the mobility of skilled migrants as a `gain' for both sending and receiving nations, a gain that very directly addresses the root causes of migration." -- Donald Kerwin, Executive Director, Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc.
"This splendid book provides an insightful, dispassionate, informed and comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of `brain drain' by two prominent scholars with both a social conscience and a cool head. Every policymaker and scholar interested in this important phenomenon, and in its policy implications, must be required to read it." -- Jagdish Bhagwati, University Professor, Economics and Law, Columbia University
Product Description
Catholic social teaching's traditional opposition to brain drain migration from developing to developed countries is due for a reassessment. Stepping Out of the Brain Drain provides exactly this, as it demonstrates that both the economic and the ethical rationales for the teaching's opposition to brain drain have been undermined in recent years, and shows how the adoption of a less critical policy could provide enhanced opportunities for poor countries to accelerate their economic development.
