How Asylum-Seekers Shake Up Economies (Mostly in Good Ways)

Adam and Cameron devote the entire episode to looking at all aspects of migration as the number of asylum-seekers in Europe is on pace to hit a record 1 million this year. Adam discusses how economically speaking migration is a net-plus for most countries and how it’s vital to invest in housing and other infrastructure in order to absorb new populations. Hey, Ones and Tooze listeners in Berlin! After the success of the last live show, Adam and Cameron are going to be doing another live taping on Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Hertie School (Friedrichstraße 180, 10117 Berlin, Germany).

On our new podcast, Tooze and FP deputy editor Cameron Abadi will look at two data points each week that explain the world: one drawn from the week’s headlines and the other from just about anywhere else Tooze takes us.
