Description
The most comprehensive index of economic freedom in the world and the only one that uses reproducible measures appropriate for peer-reviewed research, this annual report ranks 142 countries according to the degree of personal choice, voluntary exchange, freedom to compete, and protection of person and property enjoyed by their citizens. Each year, the preparation of the report is overseen by the Fraser Institute of Canada and has been strongly supported by the legendry economist Milton Friedman, to whose memory the present year's edition is dedicated.
