Joss Sheldon's Freedom: The Case For Open Borders demystifies the benefits of migration and advocates for a borderless world. It explores the history of migration and how our ancestors from Africa traveled a world without borders and settled in different parts of the earth. It also examines the history of borders and passports, as well as their restrictive nature. By looking into the history of migration, the book shines a light on the factors that influence free movement and the role genetics play in one's propensity for migration. We also see how immigration has benefitted people genetically, economically, and socially. Additionally, the advantages of migration are highlighted with several enlightening examples, including the creation of PayPal and the contribution of the Portuguese to the UK's national dish.

From studies by the Harvard Medical School and other well-quoted sources to a logical examination of the benefits of learning from other cultures and other profound topics, the book had me completely intrigued by its highly resourceful pages. Its comprehensive exploration of the benefits of free movement covers economic, political, biological, and philosophical topics. I was happy to learn several eye-opening ideas from the book, including the fact that billions of dollars of taxpayers' money are used on building walls and policing borders instead of providing better healthcare for the sick and homes for the homeless. Forget what the media tells you about immigrants. Freedom: The Case For Open Borders is filled with well-researched facts and logical arguments that will instantly turn antagonists into advocates for open borders. Joss has successfully convinced me that a world with open borders and more equal opportunities for every human is the solution to several important problems.
