Book Description
When institutions protect the liberty of individuals, greater prosperity results for all. Economist Adam Smith formed this theory in his influential work, The Wealth of Nations, in 1776. In 2008, his theory is measured-and proven-in the Index of Economic Freedom, an annual guide published by the Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation, Washington's no. 1 think tank. Since 1995, the Index has brought Smith's theories about liberty, prosperity and economic freedom to life by crating 10 benchmarks (business freedom, trade freedom, fiscal freedom, government size, monetary freedom, investment freedom, financial freedom, property rights, freedom from corruption and labor freedom) that gauge the realities of economic life in countries around the world. With its user-friendly format, readers can see how 18th century theories on prosperity and economic freedom are realities in the 21st century.

The Human Freedom Index 2021
Author: Ian Vasquez
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781952223495
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
The Human Freedom Index presents the state of human freedom in the world based on a broad measure that encompasses personal, civil, and economic freedom. Human freedom is a social concept that recognizes the dignity of individuals and is defined here as negative liberty or the absence of coercive constraint. Because freedom is inherently valuable and plays a role in human progress, it is worth measuring carefully. The Human Freedom Index is a resource that can help to more objectively observe relationships between freedom and other social and economic phenomena, as well as the ways in which the various dimensions of freedom interact with one another.The report is co?published by the Cato Institute and the Fraser Institute.
