The book explores the transformation of asylum from a primarily political and humanitarian issue to one viewed mainly through an economic lens. It contends that this shift has resulted in the intentional impoverishment of asylum seekers in the UK by the state. Through this analysis, the author highlights the implications of framing asylum in economic terms and examines the consequences for those seeking refuge.
