Economic Freedom of the World 2003 Annual Report

The key ingredients of economic freedom are personal choice, voluntary exchange, freedom to compete, and protection of person and property. Economic freedom liberates individuals and families from government dependence and gives them charge of their own future. Empirical research shows this spurs economic growth by unleashing individual dynamism. It also leads to democracy and other freedoms as people are unfettered from government dependence. This is the most comprehensive economic freedom measure in the world, and the only one that uses reproducible measures appropriate for peer-reviewed research.
