DEFINITION
Index of '
economic freedom', according to the
American organisation 'The Heritage Foundation'. It is worth noting that such indices are based on highly culturally contingent factors. This data makes a number of assumptions about 'freedom' and the role of the
government that are not accepted by much of the world's
population. A broad discussion of The Heritage Foundation's definition and methodology can be found at
