2002 Index of Economic Freedom

The annual Index of Economic Freedom is a detailed, country-by-country analysis of the economies of 162 nations. For each country, it includes often hard-to-obtain 2001 data on taxes, foreign investment codes, tariffs, banking regulations, monetary policy and more. The Index ranks economies according to how free they are. A country`s score on the annual Index is a measure of its overall economic health and its prospects for growth. Now in its eighth year, the Index of Economic Freedom is an indispensable handbook for anyone who invests or does business abroad. A must for every coporate and university library.
