Report: Swiss are freest people in Europe...

Switzerland is the second freest country in the world, and enjoys the most freedoms of any European country, according to a new report.

The annual Human Freedom Index (HFI), published by US think tank the Cato Institute, presents the state of human freedom, defined as “the absence of coercive constraint”.

Covering 152 countries and based on data from 2012, the most recent available, the HFI is “the most comprehensive freedom index so far created for a globally meaningful set of countries”, according to Cato.

The index ranks countries on a scale of one to 10 in 76 indicators of personal, civil and economic freedom.

 Topics covered include rule of law, religion, expression, freedom to trade internationally, business regulation and legal system. Full story...
