I'm a big fan of Zach Weinersmith, and I seem to pick up these non-fiction graphic novels strangely often in spite of myself, so this seemed like an easy read to justify.

Caplan argues for totally open borders and free migration in order to boost the world's (and America's) GDP. His arguments in favour of it are mostly compelling, although his addressing of typical criticisms felt pretty weak. The read was a bit lighter than I would like considering the amount of ground he covered, but he's got a pretty decent pile of stats and graphs from good sources to back up his statements so it's not as bad as it could be. The focus on economic benefits over other metrics is... very American, I think. Regardless, I came out of it with my general feeling that borders are stupid more bolstered than not.

Weinersmith's art supports the text well, with a decent number of SMBC-style chuckles sprinkled throughout. Not as much as I'd hoped, but eh, that's what the comic's for.

On the whole this was a pretty good read, but it made me want to know more instead of satiating the questions I had going in. I'm more than capable of coming up with numerous hard-to-answer questions on my own, thank you very much.
