Global GDP would double if labour was allowed the same freedom of movement as capital.

But the human condition is such that I do not think it's not going to happen anytime soon :(

Really? And would global average wages double, or would the profit margins on ever-cheaper labor do all the growing?

Assuming inequality is constant - then yes. Your purchasing power would double, you could afford twice as much food, apple would produce twice as many ipads, etc.

Variables rarely remain constant in the real world in the way that they do in ceteris paribus thought-experiments.
