Bryan Caplan Dwarkesh Podcast · Oct 2022 Why people recommend it
Open Borders by Bryan Caplan and Zach Weinersmith is a graphic novel that makes an economic and moral case for the global freedom of movement. Dwarkesh Patel praised the book on the Dwarkesh Podcast, endorsing its graphic novel format and describing the reading experience as an engaging, binge-worthy event comparable to watching a television show. Patel also questioned author Bryan Caplan during an interview about specific arguments within the text, asking whether lowering national IQ could still result in a net positive if global IQ rises. Bryan Caplan appeared on the podcast as well to discuss the international reach of his work, noting that the graphic novel had been successfully translated into several Eastern European languages, including Polish, Hungarian, and Czech. Additionally, Patel brought up the volume to debate the practical steps required to bridge the gap between brilliant economic theories and actual radical policy changes in global immigration. Across these episodes, the podcast hosts and author utilized the book to unpack the complexities of migration policy, the effectiveness of unconventional educational formats, and the international reception of radical economic ideas.
