U.S. Ranks Only No. 12 on World Index of Economic Freedom
My favorite annual publication from the Heritage Foundation, the Index of Economic Freedom, has just been released.
Like the Fraser Institute’s Economic Freedom of the World and, to a lesser extent, the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report, the Heritage Foundation survey is filled with interesting data on economic liberty in various nations.
We’ll start by sharing the global map. It’s good to be green, especially dark green. But it’s bad to be orange, and even worse to be red.
Sadly, there are only six “free†jurisdictions.
