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.

"The consumer is sovereign when, in his role of citizen, he has not delegated to political institutions for authoritarian use the power which he can exercise socially through his power to demand (or refrain from demanding)." Hutt (1936, p. 257)
RT @EconBreau: I hate how they just casually talk about redistributing other people's money & pretend to be moral. Charity is moral, what…
"As an economist" means (and should mean) answering the question from the perspective of economic theory and using sound economic reasoning.
As an economist, I cannot answer questions about what the interest rate "should be." The answer depends on what the goal is. If the goal is to have the economy create as much prosperity as possible, then my answer is to let the market set its rate. Other goals, other answers.
