The goal of the HFI (Human Freedom Index) “is to measure the degree to which people are free to enjoy classic civil liberties—freedom of speech, religion, individual economic choice, and association and assembly—in each country surveyed.” After all the number crunching, New Zealand takes the top spot, followed by the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, Ireland, the United States, Denmark, Japan, and Estonia. The new Human Freedom Index reminds us there is much work to do to restrain the leviathan and expand liberty in the twenty-first century—at home and abroad.
