Synopsis

When institutions protect the liberty of individuals, greater prosperity results for all. Economist Adam Smith formed this theory in his influential work, The Wealth of Nations in 1776. In 2008, his theory is measured — and proven — in the Index of Economic Freedom, an annual guide published by The Wall Street Journal and The Heritage Foundation, Washington's No. 1 think tank. Since 1995, the Index has brought Smith's theories about liberty, prosperity, and economic freedom to life by creating 10 benchmarks that gauge the realities of economic life in countries around the world. With its user-friendly format, readers can see how the 18th century theories on prosperity and economic freedom are realities in the 21st century.
