Ludwig von Mises called for open borders, "to allow the movement of workers to where their energy and skills could be used best" (Slobodian's summation, 75)
his approach to nationality was "antiterritorial" and he made a "defense of an absolute right to mobility"
though later in life he was wary of "total freedom of migration," (Slobodian's phrasing), writing that "there are few white men who would not shudder at the picture of many millions of black or yellow people living in their own countries"
