Book excerpt: The World Survey of Economic Freedom re-ports on eighty-two nations in the Americas, Western Europe, Central East Europe, and NIS (Newly Independent States), Asia, the Middle East, and Africa surveyed by Freedom House during 1995. For each nation, background information is provided, as well as answers to questions about freedom to hold property, to earn a living, to operate a business, to invest one's earnings, to trade internationally, to participate in a market economy, and freedom from unreasonable government interference in the economy. By focusing attention on nations in which economic freedom is denied, and in which individuals are not free to buy, sell, and trade in a market economy, this Freedom House survey advances the cause of democracy.
