The stateless market society
 

Murray Rothbard promoted a "radical libertarian vision of 'contractual neighborhoods' where everything was privatized"
 
"If every last scrap of land and street were privately owned, then the new shapes of communities would be determined by 'neighborhood-contracts' between property owners. Instead of birthright citizenship, which he saw as bait for free-riders, 'access rights' would be purchased." (52)
 
"[Lew] Rockwell added to the vision of stateless market society or anarcho-capitalism by saying that the rolls of citizenship should be closed."
 
"In Rockwell and Rothbard's desired future, migration would either be temporary or based on the ability to buy entry to a new jurisdiction"
 
"Citizenship would be replaced by ownership."
