From the FAQ:

http://www.heritage.org/index/FAQ.aspx

Q.3. How do you measure economic freedom?

We measure ten components of economic freedom, assigning a grade in each using a scale from 0 to 100, where 100 represents the maximum freedom. The ten component scores are then averaged to give an overall economic freedom score for each country. The ten components of economic freedom are:

Business Freedom | Trade Freedom | Fiscal Freedom | Government Spending | Monetary Freedom | Investment Freedom | Financial Freedom | Property rights | Freedom from Corruption | Labor Freedom

Thank you. Based on the doctored title, I wasn't aware that it was specific to economic freedom at first.

BTW, was reading some of your exchanges with Badeye. Why do you waste your time with that clown?

I'm starting to think hypocrites invented the Democrat party as something to inhabit. Not the other way around. That and the wheels came of Skivvy's wagon when war got shown the door. Sad watching them bumble around.

War wasn't shown the door. He departed on his own accord.

I'm certain aka loser will be happy to verify this fact.
