more like the tax heaven chart

A lot of those countries have regresive high taxes, taxes are just a part of economic freedom

the usa wins the corporatism index

and? this index is about economic freedom

We are demsoc

so why aren't you regulating economy as France?

because we are not niggers

then you're not enough soc

Then it's good that they found a good balance

>#20
it's a very capitalist "balance"

btw this was sarcasm

'economic freedom index' is just a name. Half the variables are things every wealthy country has. i.e fiscal health, government integrity, judicial effectiveness.
This is primarily a measure of wealthy, stable countries, with preference to those with less restrictive business and labor laws. Nordic countries will be well represented, if by nothing else, then by just being wealthy and stable.

This is why I don't like this index, it's quite misleading. and their values given to some countries are questionable. HK gets a 93 on property rights? A country where the government owns all the land apparently has some of the strongest property rights in the world.
Also, I noticed their 'Government spending' value appears to be just gdp/spending. Which can be very misleading. Ireland gets a laughable 77, compared to the UK's 48, even though our government spending compared to the general 'taxabilness' of the economy is about the same. Our inflated GDP accounts for our high score, and they never bothered to qualify this in the data.

>HK
>Singapore
even the locals can't afford to live there

Well if it improves the standard of living sure
I hope politicians don't implement policies form an ideology just for the sake of being a believer of that ideology. Their focus should be welfare of the people

Because the demand to live there is high.
