| Popis: | Authors of the indexes of economic freedom argue that economic freedom is a key link to prosperity and growth. An outline of empirical and theoretical investigation into the relationships between economic performance and institutional environment shows that economic freedom is an important precondition for economic prosperity. Countries that have more economic freedom also tend to have higher rates of economic growth and are more prosperous. Author however in the article argues that economic policy advisers should use indexes of economic freedom with great caution, since they suffer from certain deficiencies with regard to their content. An author presents a detail political-economic analysis of economic freedom, through three pairs of concepts that emphasize and express two different conceptions of understanding of economic freedom, in order to show why presented index of economic freedom cannot be sufficient indicators of economic freedom and prosperity. Autori indeksa ekonomske slobode tvrde da je ekonomska sloboda ključna za brži ekonomski napredak. Pregled empirijskih i teoretskih istraživanja potvrđuje da je ekonomska sloboda važan uvjet za brži ekonomski napredak. Države koje imaju više ekonomske slobode postižu brži ekonomski napredak. Autor želi posebno istaknuti da je potrebno indekse ekonomske slobode upotrebljavati oprezno zbog određenih slabosti u vezi njihovog sadržaja i primjene. Zbog toga je sama ekonomska sloboda u radu prikazana kroz tri aspekta, koji prikazuju dva potpuno različita načina razumijevanja same ekonomske slobode. Takva političko-ekonomska analiza jasno je pokazala zašto indeksi ekonomske slobode ne mogu biti pouzdan indikator ekonomske slobode i budućeg ekonomskog prosperiteta. |
