EXODUS
COLLIER, PAUL
In Exodus, world-renowned economist and bestselling author Paul Collier lays out the effects of
encouraging or restricting migration in the interests of both sending and receiving societies. Drawing on
original research and numerous case studies, Collier explores this volatile issue from three unique
perspectives: the migrants themselves, the people they leave behind, and the host societies where they
relocate. As Collier shows, those who migrate from the poorest countries, primarily though not exclusive
the young, tend to be the best educated and most energetic in their cultures. And while migrants often
benefit economically, the larger impacts of mass migrations remain unsettling. The danger is that both
host countries and sending societies may lose their national identities-- an outcome that Collier suggests
would be disastrous as national identity is a powerful force for equity. Collier asserts that migration must
be restricted to ensure that it helps those who remain in sending countries and also benefits host
societies that make the investment on which migrant gains rely.

THE EVERYDAY ENTREPRENEUR
DAWKINS, FRED
In Everyday Entrepreneur, you will meet three individuals who all have entrepreneurial aspirations. The
first is Tim, whose career is stagnating, despite having a good job. Tim has developed some software that
could form the basis of his own business, but he can’t make the decision whether or not to set up on his
own. Terry, a childhood friend, steers Tim into a class on entrepreneurship conducted by a mysterious
person named Sam. The class includes two others — Grace, in her mid-thirties, and Mike, who is twentysomething.
Sam invites his three students to learn to become entrepreneurs over a period of twelve days.
By focusing on the qualities of a successful entrepreneur and by relying on a wide range of anecdotes, he
cleverly leads all three to make important decisions about their future.
