Borderless Economics: Chinese Sea Turtles, Indian Fridges and the New Fruits of Global Capitalism by Robert Guest
Why This Book Matters
Borderless Economics explores how immigrants drive innovation, transfer knowledge, and build transnational networks that strengthen both the countries they leave and the communities they join. Robert Guest, global business editor for The Economist, offers real-world examples that show why migration is not a burden but a powerful asset for economies and democracies.
From Chinese entrepreneurs returning home with U.S.-trained skills to Indian tech leaders building investment pipelines across continents, this book reframes global migration as a driver of prosperity, resilience, and connection. Guest also examines how cultural openness and diasporic ties can help solve global challenges including poverty, instability, and climate vulnerability.
This book is especially useful for nonprofit leaders, funders, and campaign strategists looking to build strong economic narratives around immigration. Use it to sharpen donor messaging, design public education programs, or strengthen your organization’s approach to economic justice and international collaboration.
