Ludwig von Mises

If we wish to gain insight into the essence of nationality, we must proceed not from the nation but from the individual. We must ask ourselves what the national aspect of the individual person is and what determines his belonging to a particular nation.

Ludwig von Mises, Nation, State and Economy (1919; 1983, Leland B. Yeager, trans.), p. 34.
