Borderless Economics: Chinese Sea Turtles, Indian Fridges and the New Fruits of Global Capitalism is a book by Robert Guest, business editor for The Economist.

Guest's skepticism about the importance of the much ballyhooed microloans that help the world's poorest people to buy livestock or open a small business.

Mr. Pritchett tells the author that the average gain for a Bangladeshi from a lifetime of these loans is about the same as the earnings from working just eight weeks in America.

"[2] Richard N. Cooper reviewed the book briefly for Foreign Affairs, concluding: "In Guest’s judgment, this receptiveness will assure that the United States remains number one in the world economy – unless thoughtlessly more restrictive immigration policies take hold.

"[3] An After Words interview by Cecilia Kang of The Washington Post of Guest about his book was taped on November 15, 2011, and aired on December 17, 2011.
