Freedom is just another word for entrepreneurship

The 2008 Index of Economic Freedom covers 162 countries across 10 specific freedoms such as trade freedom, business freedom, investment freedom, and property rights.

The 2008 Index provides an even clearer picture of economic freedom by using data-driven equations which allows countries to be graded between scores of 0 and 100 - blending "Ten Freedoms" to produce a simple, unbiased overall score for each country.
