Economic Freedom

Spreading prosperity and growth

Economic freedom is one of the main drivers of prosperity, resulting in improved wealth, health, and education as individuals and families take charge of their own future.

Economic freedom is the extent to which you can pursue economic activity without interference from government, as long as your actions don't violate the identical rights of others.

The Fraser Institute has several programs that examine the effects of economic freedom in countries around the world:

• The Economic Freedom of the World Index
