ECONOMIC FREEDOM IN 2007

The WSJ/Heritage Foundation rankings for 2007 are out, and it makes for some fascinating reading as usual.

In the overall ratings Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia come out on top (here's the top-10), but if you want to have some fun download the excel worksheet and start sorting the data per category. What is the best place to be free from corruption? Iceland. And where can you best hire and fire your employees? Georgia. And finally, my favorite probably: the 'freedom from government' category. Best place to go? Guatemala, closely followed by Haiti. Hmm.

(hat tip: Johan Norberg, who as a Swede finds himself on the bottom of the 'freedom from government' rankings, together with Libya and Cuba)
