For twenty-nine years the Index has delivered thoughtful analysis in a clear, friendly,
and straight-forward format. With new resources for users and a website tailored for
research and education, the Index of Economic Freedom is poised to help readers track
over two decades of the advancement in economic freedom, prosperity, and opportunity

The Index covers 12 freedoms – from property rights to financial freedom – in 184
countries.”
