Under full ­free movement of ­people and goods, ­there are nations whose areas would be more densely and ­others more thinly settled. This relative overpopulation must be dissolved now through movements of migration. … Mises saw the earth as a vast territory of varying natu­ral endowments that needed to be exploited as thoroughly as pos­si­ble through the mobility of capital, ­labor, and commerce. The drive ­toward productivity was axiomatic. He called it the "fundamental social law" of capitalism "to draw the greatest number of ­human beings into the personal division of ­labor and the ­whole earth's surface into the geo­graph­i­cal division of ­labor."
