“One key component of institutions is the degree to which they permit economic freedom. The more economic freedom a society has, the more individuals are free to allocate their resources as they see fit. Economic freedom is closely associated with the rule of law. When a society follows the rule of law, laws are applied equally and all types of rights are protected. This of course includes economic rights. Economic freedom is strongly correlated with per capita income”
