A Noble Effort that Lays Bare its Assumptions...

Economic freedom may or may not be the way to spiritual or political happiness, but it certainly seems that it's one of the keys to economic development. Although it's difficult to prove once and for all precisely what economic environments are best for countries, this series attempts to get at the keys. I also believe that if they were to change their opinions on a measure or two, they would have no hesitancy to revise or amend their criteria. Whatever flaw their analyses have, it is a monumental effort they put together each year, and at the very least it's a benchmark for people to debate about. There's information and opinion in here that you can't get easily from anywhere else at this price...For those that prefer alternative ways of thinking about the world, or have competing models to try, this can set up a good basis for comparison. I use the country scores in this volume to influence my own personal investing strategy.
