Liberty Through Wealth is the name of our column because we firmly believe that successful investing can lead to wealth - and give you the freedom to live the life you want. Yet it has become particularly obvious that investing IN freedom and liberty can also boost your portfolio's performance. We can see that by considering nations that are economically unfree. They lack many of the fundamental human and economic freedoms that we in the West take for granted: property rights, rule of law, and the ability to trade and make contracts. Plus the basic freedoms of speech, association, religion and assembly. To be sure, there is no simple "free or unfree" dichotomy. The Fraser Institute produces an annual report on economic freedom around the world, and the 2023 edition is now out. |
