Most people interested in economics are likely familiar with the Fraser Institute’s annual Economic Freedom of the World reports along with the Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom. The Mercatus Center at George Mason University has a Freedom in the 50 States report, parsing and ranking all 50 states in terms of economic and personal freedoms. My own state, Texas, comes in at #14 in the latest ranking (our neighbor Oklahoma comes in at #5).
