Abstract
A new empirical field of research in economics shows that policies characterized by economic freedom produce economic growth. "Economic freedom" means such things as a small government, protection of private property, a well-functioning legal system, free competition and few regulations. The field also shows that under certain conditions, economic freedom improves income equality.
