Economic Freedom Index

By | Posted in Economics |

Heritage’s Economic Freedom Index is out. (I wish they would do this for the individual states within the US.) Not suprisingly, Hong Kong is still the most economically free place in the world. The US is 5th, behind Singapore, Ireland and Australia.

    Max,
    There is a ranking of North America co-produced by Canada’s Fraser Institute and NCPA.

    NC ranks in the top ten, but behind other SE states Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia. The data is from their 2003 measures, it would be interesting to see how the actions of Easley, Rand & Co. over the last few years may have affected our ranking.
