      I wonder if it's not harder for rich countries to make needed sacrifices because wealthy vested interests have too much power. And maybe institutions more locked in, less nimble? It's some I'd like to see economists look into.

          Yes, that's the same problem as to why Turkey or Pakistan can take 5-6 millions of refugees (in total) but when Europe takes one million, all hell breaks loose. There are things difficult to explain in this world.

          Would 🇹🇷🇵🇰 be so happy to host the refugees if they were from Africa and not from neighbouring countries? In Poland, nobody complained about millions of refugees from Ukraine. Cultural distance to the refugees matters.

          Not exactly. His wife died (as he writes in the book) b/c of Chinese racism.

          I'm pretty sure it's not something you want economists to look into
