FMF NEWSLETTER 25 OCTOBER 2017

Dear friend of the FMF

This week’s feature article by Eustace Davie provides a detailed description of the benefits that countries can derive from pursuing high levels of economic freedom. The publication, Economic Freedom of te World, provides meticulous economic analyses of the economies 0f 159 countries covering up to 35 years of data in some cases, which show that the residents of the most economically free countries suffer less poverty and unemployment, enjoy higher average incomes and have longer lifespans than residents of less free countries. All that is required is disciplined governance based on the principles of economic freedom as set out in the annual studies.

Economic Freedom of the World Annual Report – a powerful source of information for guiding government policies – EUSTACE DAVIE

The data could not be more clear. Countries that pursue greater levels of economic freedom reap resounding benefits.

Citizens die, on average, 20 years earlier, suffer more from poverty, battle greater unemployment, receive lower average incomes and suffer higher inflation in countries with governments that follow policies opposed to economic freedom and thus have lower economic growth.
