Summary
Delving into the necessary and unsurprising instrumentalization of citizenship, this chapter looks at the role it plays in global inequalities. It shows how unsurprising the instrumental twist is and how investment migration is almost unavoidable. In this context, investment migration offers just one of many ways available to the losers of the birthright lottery to upgrade their initial status assignment.
