Jagdish Bhagwati Quotes

“The emigres often work as a Trojan horse, lobbying on your behalf.”

On the benefits of emigration of intelligent and skilled workers from India to other nations, as quoted in "Return Passage to India: Emigres Pay Back" by Celia W. Dugger, in The New York Times (29 February 2000) http://www.nytimes.com/2000/02/29/world/return-passage-to-india-emigres-pay-back.html?pagewanted=all; also cited in: Kishore Mahbubani, The New Asian Hemisphere: The Irresistible Shift of Global Power to the East https://books.google.nl/books?id=3bNEcyRxk3oC&pg=PA69&lpg=PA69&dq=charles+leadbeater++%22from+west+to+east%22&source=bl&ots=5P_cDPHVZF&sig=GfkXHeh-xNDhko5-h2NqD67zP5E&hl=nl&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjF_afS-qzLAhXHzxQKHUcKBEoQ6AEIKDAB#v=onepage&q=Bhagwati&f=false (2010), p. 71
Context: The emigres often work as a Trojan horse, lobbying on your behalf. They use external opportunities to succeed prodigiously in different occupations. And they can bring their skills and funds home to assist the country in its economic takeoff.
