Personal & Economic Freedom – Maryland Among Dead Last
March 27th, 2009 | 
Author: Social Change Project Mercatus, State and Local Policy Project at George Mason University.
“This paper presents the first-ever comprehensive ranking of the American states on their public policies affecting individual freedoms in the economic, social, and personal spheres. We develop and justify our ratings and aggregation procedure on explicitly normative criteria, defining individual freedom as the ability to dispose of one’s own life, liberty, and justly acquired property however one sees fit, so long as one does not coercively infringe on another individual’s ability to do the same.”
” New York is the least free by a considerable margin, followed by New Jersey, Rhode Island, California, and Maryland.”
