Economic Freedom of The World

The annual survey Economic Freedom of the World is an indicator produced by the Fraser Institute, a Canadian think tank which attempts to measure the degree of economic freedom in the world's nations. This indicator has been used in peer-reviewed studies some of which have found a range of beneficial effects of more economic freedom, but plays a role in the creation of financial crisis.

Economic Freedom of the World index has been more widely used than any other measure of economic freedom, because of its coverage of a longer time period.

Famous quotes containing the words economic, freedom and/or world:

    A society in which everyone works is not necessarily a free society and may indeed be a slave society; on the other hand, a society in which there is widespread economic insecurity can turn freedom into a barren and vapid right for the millions of people.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

    After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.
    Nelson Mandela (b. 1918)

    Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports.
    Kenneth Branagh (b. 1960)
