Immigration is the issue of our time: riddled with moral, environmental, philosophical and political questions with few clear-cut solutions. Political philosopher Avner de-Shalit guides us through some of these complexities, with a particular focus on cities. How do cities cope with large flows of migrants and refugees? Should they have a right to stop people from settling in the city? Which model of integration works best and where can it be found? Avner de-Shalit is here with much needed insights on how to integrate immigrants in cities.

Oliver Burkeman - Negative Path to Happiness
For a civilisation so fixated on achieving happiness, we seem remarkably incompetent at the task. The advantages of modern life seem incapable of lifting our collective mood. Wealth doesn’t necessarily lead to happiness. Romance, family life, and work often bring as much stress as joy. We can’t even agree on what ‘happiness’ means. Are we engaged in a futile pursuit? Or are we just going about it the wrong way? Oliver has some of the most truthful and useful words about happiness in recent years.

Margaret Heffernan - Competition Isn't Everything
The Olympics. X-Factor. The Nobel Prize. Everywhere you look: competition – for fame, money, attention, status. Being top seems to be everything – but what is it costing all of us? We depend on competition and expect it to identify the best, make complicated decisions easy and to motivate the lazy and inspire the dreamers. But Margaret Heffernan shows that competition regularly produces just what we don’t want: rising levels of fraud, cheating, stress, inequality and political stalemate.
