    It looks like the beltway libertarians at places like Reason and Cato have no interest in explaining the libertarian position on naturalization and citizenship. Try an internet search of the phrase “libertarian position on naturalization and citizenship”—or some similar variation of those words. What you will find is a wide array of articles on immigration from the usual “libertarian” sources. But, that hardly answers our question since immigration and naturalization are two very different things.

    As immigration levels have grown in many Western countries, concerns over the politically destabilizing effects of large-scale migration have prompted a continuing debate over citizenship. As we’ve noted here at mises.org, many European states have consequently moved toward greater restrictions on citizenship. Other states, such as the United States and Canada, have yet to embrace any new limitations on naturalization laws.

    It’s become fashionable among economists to refer to knowledge as a silver-bullet explanation for all kinds of phenomena and processes. Whereas Hayek (and Hayekians) is known for the “knowledge problem,” mainstreamers, too, rely on a vague conceptualization of knowledge (specifically, the lack thereof) to explain important economic processes. Both exogenous and endogenous growth theories, for example, suggest “knowledge” explains an economy’s growth and, thus, society’s prosperity.

Words are meaningless without the concept they name/refer to. A term does not explain anything - the concept does. In other words, to throw in a term without proper definition, or a common understanding of what it means, does not add anything; it can only sow confusion.

There's a new critique of universities brewing: that their administration is too bloated not supportive of education. This is true, but it's mostly due to government mandates and, additionally, administrative power grabs. It's long since faculty had much influence on campuses.
