This report compares the impact of economic
freedom and foreign aid on economic growth in
the poorest nations. It shows that
economic freedom has a strong and positive
impact on prosperity in general and on helping
lift nations out of poverty. Economic
Freedom of the World measures the degree to
which the policies and institutions of countries
are supportive of economic freedom. The elements
of economic freedom considered are personal
choice, voluntary exchange, freedom to compete,
and security of privately owned property.
This publication ranks 130 nations for 2004, the
most recent year for which data are available.
The report also updates data in earlier reports
in instances where data have been revised.
Thirty-eight components and sub-components are
used to construct a summary index and to measure
the degree of economic freedom in five areas:
(1) size of government; (2) legal structure and
protection of property rights; (3) access to
sound money; (4) international exchange; and (5)
regulation.
