It's about economic freedom and guess who actually got the 6th place together with the USA? Denmark!So much about anybody here will dare again to say, that Denmark is a socialist country

I wonder what they mean by economic freedom.  Denmark's government provides socialized education and healthcare, and socialist parties make up a large proportion of Denark's government, yet it is tied with the United States in the category.

The study might look at economic freedom and social freedom in the same light.

EDIT:

A note from the site:

Index of 'economic freedom', according to the American organisation 'The Heritage Foundation'. It is worth noting that such indices are based on highly culturally contingent factors. This data makes a number of assumptions about 'freedom' and the role of the government that are not accepted by much of the world's population.

Still, I'm pretty sure that the United states is up there among the Top 10 Nations when it comes to economic freedom.

Don't worry ManusJustus. We're all part of the Western World, even though the US population is more religious than they are secular.
