The economic freedom chart below is a joint project between the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal. The data for the analysis of the freest economies was gathered from data about 183 economies across the world. The data from the economies are measured by examining ten elements:
Business Freedom | Trade Freedom | Fiscal Freedom | Government Size | Monetary Freedom | Investment Freedom | Financial Freedom | Property rights | Freedom from Corruption | Labor Freedom. Here is a link to the 2009 Index of Economic Freedom. The USA is ranked 6th, trailing Hong Kong and Singapore. The USA lost some of its economic freedom since 2008. Our situation is not improving. We rank the lowest in the categories of government size and corruption.
