How Does Your Country Rank in Economic Freedom? ([link removed] )

Economic freedom in the United States has increased since 2013, but then leveled off in the last two years of the Economic Freedom of the World index. The level of U.S. economic freedom is still notably below what it was in the year 2000, when it began a long-term decline. Prosperity, longevity, political freedom, and a whole range of indicators of human well-being are strongly associated with economic freedom. The average income of the poorest 10% in the most economically free nations is two-thirds higher than the average per-capita income in the least-free nations. Economic freedom is a fundamental condition for prosperity.
