Abstract
Why has the developing world become poorer as the industrialized nations ha ve grown richer? Robust growth depends on a strong state that can enforce l aws, yet many impoverished countries lack effective governance. And by stri ctly limiting immigration, rich countries deny the world's poor a chance to vote with their feet.
