2018 Index of Economic Freedom
https://www.heritage.org/index/

Today, we live in the most prosperous time in human history. Poverty, sicknesses, and ignorance are receding throughout the world, due in large part to the advance of economic freedom. In 2018, the principles of economic freedom that have fueled this monumental progress are once again measured in the Index of Economic Freedom, an annual guide published by The Heritage Foundation, Washington’s No. 1 think tank. For over twenty years the Index has delivered thoughtful analysis in a clear, friendly, and straight-forward format. With new resources for users and a website tailored for research and education, the Index of Economic Freedom is poised to help readers track over two decades of the advancement in economic freedom, prosperity, and opportunity and promote these ideas in their homes, schools, and communities. The Index covers 12 freedoms – from property rights to financial freedom – in 186 countries. The 2018 Index — the 24th edition—includes: a) Updated economic freedom scores and macroeconomic data for 186 economies; b) Easy-to-read cross-country comparisons that highlight why economic freedom matters; and c) Online tools like customized comparison charts and an interactive heat map.
