The U.S. ranks 10th in economic freedom
According to the Heritage Foundation’s 2012 Index of Economic Freedom, the United States has an economic freedom score of 76.3, which makes the United States rank tenth out of one hundred seventy-nine ranked countries. Hong Kong ranks first, with an economic freedom score of 89.9.
In 2011, the United States ranked ninth, with a score of 77.8.
Singapore and Hong Kong strike me as the conservative’s ideal countries (even if they’d never admit it)…lots of economic freedom, little political or other freedom.
