Their definition:
"Economic freedom is the fundamental right of every human to control his or her own labor and property. In an economically free society, individuals are free to work, produce, consume, and invest in any way they please, with that freedom both protected by the state and unconstrained by the state. In economically free societies, governments allow labor, capital and goods to move freely, and refrain from coercion or constraint of liberty beyond the extent necessary to protect and maintain liberty itself."
The index scores nations on 12 broad factors:
- Business freedom
- Trade freedom
- Monetary freedom
- Government size
- Fiscal freedom
- Property rights
- Investment freedom
- Financial freedom
- Freedom from corruption
- Labor freedom
Argentina is at place 144th with 50.1.
If it jumps 90-100 places then it will be about 66-67 points close to Hungary and other Eastern EU countries, and such shitholes like Belgium.
If it jumps to the 90-100 place that's 8-9 points growths, and will be close to the illustrious country of Namibia.
I find two factors funny. 1. government size; I don't see a necessary correlation with freedom, they might be occupied with different things than fiscal policies or economy. But sure why not.
The other is freedom from corruption. On one hand corruption is basically a level of freedom: the money can be pocketed freely no worries about regulations and laws. On the other hand battling corruption needs laws and enforcing institutions, which sounds like countering freedom, and having more state institutions (larger government).
