Summary: Economic Freedom = The Key to Development?
Comment: Economic freedom may or may not be the way to spiritual or political happiness, but it certainly seems that it's one of the keys to economic development. Although it's difficult to prove once and for all precisely what economic environments are best for countries, this series attempts to get at the keys. I also believe that if they were to change their opinions on a measure or two, they would have no hesitancy to revise or amend their criteria. Whatever flaw their analyses have, it is a monumental effort they put together each year, and at the very least it's a benchmark for people to debate about. There's information in here that you can't get easily from anywhere else at this price...

Summary: Superb resource
Comment: We use the resource as a reference for business conditions and navigating the often difficult issues of world business. Its bibliographic resources are excellent, especially for smaller countries for which there are few published data. We have used it for many years, and find it thoughtful, thought-provoking, and insightful.

Summary: TERRIBLE!
Comment: It is a huge debate in Sociology and Political science: does democratization cause economic growth or economic growth democratization. But the authors seem careless: if there is a correlation between the two, it means that economic freedom and democratization must cause economic growth. Why? I don't know! Do you? And that is the first thing our students learn in Methodology courses: correlation does no mean causality at all!
