Do You Live in a Free State?

Mon, 03/09/2009 - 8:12am | posted by Jason Pye

My home state of Georgia is the 17th freeist state in the country according to Freedom In The 50 States, an index of personal and economic freedom produced by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.

We actually do really well on economic liberty- we’re rated as the sixth most free economy in the country. Unfortunately, we’re near the bottom on personal liberty.

New Hampshire is the most free (no surprise there considering the Free State Project). New York is the least free.

You can check out the full study here.
