ABSTRACT
In Chapter 2, Robert Goodin articulates three propositions which recur a number of times in the rest of this book. These are as follows: 1) in an ideal world there would be no legal impediments to migration; 2) there is some sort of hypocrisy involved in a country’s proclaiming a universal right of emigration while itself running a restrictive policy with regard to immigra tion; and 3) there is at any rate a prima facie moral inconsistency in having different rules for the transfer of money and the migration of people. At the risk of giving the book the appearance of an ill-coordinated pantomime horse, I should like in these concluding remarks to cast some doubt on all three propositions.
