Download or read book Freedom in the World 2009 written by Arch Puddington and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 932 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom in the World, the Freedom House flagship survey whose findings have been published annually since 1972, is the standard-setting comparative assessment of global political rights and civil liberties. The survey ratings and narrative reports on 193 countries and a group of select territories are used by policy makers, the media, international corporations, and civic activists and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide. Press accounts of the survey findings appear in hundreds of influential newspapers in the United States and abroad and form the basis of numerous radio and television reports. The Freedom in the World political rights and civil liberties ratings are determined through a multi-layered process of research and evaluation by a team of regional analysts and eminent scholars. The analysts used a broad range of sources of information, including foreign and domestic news reports, academic studies, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, individual professional contacts, and visits to the region, in conducting their research. The methodology of the survey is derived in large measure from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these standards are applied to all countries and territories, irrespective of geographical location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic development.

Download or read book Freedom in the 50 States written by William Ruger and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its third edition, Freedom in the 50 States presents a completely revised and updated ranking of the American states based on how their policies promote freedom in the fiscal, regulatory, and personal realms. This edition employs an enhanced methodology that makes it an even more comprehensive index. Improving on their previous attempts to measure freedom, authors William P. Ruger and Jason Sorens use far more variables in this edition, including many new variables related to economic freedom. In fact, more than 200 policy variables and their sources are now available to the public on a new website for the study. Scholars, policy makers, and concerned citizens can re-weigh every policy and create customized indices of freedom— or download the data for their own analyses. In the 2013 edition, the authors have updated their findings to: • include a new technique for aggregating policies into a freedom index based on “freedom value” (the estimated dollar value of each freedom aŠected to those who enjoy it); • improve and expand measures of business regulation, including new variables for land-use, professional, and insurance regulations; and • present results for more sophisticated statistical analyses of freedom’s eŠects on migration and growth than those in previous editions. In addition to providing the latest rankings for 2011, the 2013 edition builds on the data and rankings from previous editions for 2007 and 2009 and, for the first time, also includes data and rankings for 2001, highlighting changes in economic and personal freedom over the past decade. Sporting a fresh design and accompanied by complementary demographic and economic data, Freedom in the 50 States is a must-have desk reference for anyone invested in state policy and in advancing a better understanding of a free society.

Book excerpt: 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 crating 10 benchmarks (business freedom, trade freedom, fiscal freedom, government size, monetary freedom, investment freedom, financial freedom, property rights, freedom from corruption and labor freedom) that gauge the realities of economic life in countries around the world. With its user-friendly format, readers can see how 18th century theories on prosperity and economic freedom are realities in the 21st century.
