Free Market Economics: What are the benefits of economic freedom? What are the results? Learn more: http://bit.ly/1HVA Economic freedom involves more than just the freedom to buy and sell products and services. It allows us to be free in our interactions with other people. Economic freedom enables us to travel, to say what we want to say, to do what we want to do. Prof. Antony Davies shows how economic freedom is associated in the data with a number of positive indicators of a healthy country. For example, countries with more economic freedom tend to have higher GDP per capita, to take better care of the environment, and to be more equal across genders. In addition, countries with more economic freedom have less child labor. Economic freedom is important in healthy societies. It is about being free to make your own choices.

We need Monetary reform.
Thomas Edison on Government Created Debt-Free Money
Thomas Edison was an advocate for monetary reform in the United States. He was ardently opposed to the gold standard and debt-based money. Famously, he was quoted in the New York Times stating "Gold is a relic of Julius Caesar, and interest is an invention of Satan."
In the same article, he expounded upon the absurdity of a monetary system in which the taxpayer of the United States, in need of a loan, be compelled to pay in return perhaps double the principal, or even greater sums, due to interest. His basic point was that if the Government can produce debt-based money, it could equally as well produce money that was a credit to the taxpayer.[92]
He thought at length about the subject of money over 1921 and 1922. In May 1922, he published a proposal, entitled "A Proposed Amendment to the Federal Reserve Banking System".[93] In it, he detailed an explanation of a commodity-backed currency, in which the Federal Reserve would issue interest-free currency to farmers, based on the value of commodities they produced. During a publicity tour that he took with friend and fellow inventor, Henry Ford, he spoke publicly about his desire for monetary reform. For insight, he corresponded with prominent academic and banking professionals.
“It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30,000,000 in bonds and not $30,000,000 in currency. Both are promises to pay; but one promise fattens the usurer, and the other helps the people." - Thomas Edison
We can fix it in a matter of months — a year at most. We can make our government the most financially sound in the world — nearly overnight.
It's not what backs money that is important, it's who controls the quantity
- Written by William T. Still
This is the new Civil Rights movement.
"This is about the greatest rip-off in history the very way money and debt are created and controlled. This affects everyone on the planet and is the basic cause of all of our economic problems today. It is the cause of most of the world's hunger, poverty, misery and disease.. Until we all recognize this - in every nation - there is nothing any national government can do to fix the problem, and all of us will see mounting debts and sinking standards of living. Our children will inherit this mess, and it will get worse every single year. The truth is that depressions are NOT normal. They are contrived. The truth is that nations don't need a national debt. The truth is that nations don't have to borrow. Why would you borrow when you can create the money you need? The truth is that governments generally aren't PRINTING money wildly; governments are BORROWING money wildly. The good news is we CAN fix this. It won't take a war or a revolution; it only takes a simple understanding of the problem, and its simple solution. The truth is that ANYONE can understand what's going on. This is not rocket science. The truth is that those who are making money off this rip-off want to keep you confused - confused about the basic facts of what your money is and who creates it."
-Bill Still
“Any system which gives so much power and so much discretion to a few men, [so] that mistakes ‑‑ excusable or not ‑‑ can have such far reaching effects, is a bad system. It is a bad system to believers in freedom just because it gives a few men such power without any effective check by the body politic ‑‑ this is the key political argument against an independent central bank. . .To paraphrase Clemenceau: money is much too serious a matter to be left to the Central Bankers.” – Milton Friedman

This video is meaningless with the "evidence." He presents evidence but the evidence he provide is without context. For example, he suggest that economic freer States are better off and provides three "facts." But there are a lot more facts he did not provide. For example, what States was he talking about? What was the time frame of the numbers, etc. Also, he suggests that inequality is more likely in an economically freer system. What are the "facts" he uses for that statement. I am not disagreeing with his conclusions. I am only suggesting that he did not provide enough facts for me to draw similar conclusions.

the question of "what should we do? is obvious, emigrate!
-
If only these videos being shown in schools and not Annie Leonard's socialist garbage.

The Socialist Myth of the Greedy Banker http://iakal.wordpress.com/2014/02/24/the-socialist-myth-of-the-greedy-banker-the-gold-standard/

Fantastic video.
-
Interesting video. However, it would have been more interesting to have some sort of set criteria demonstrated for "economic freedom", and how changes in those criteria affect that country. Also, comparisons between countries that have high economic freedom overall, but lower compared to other such countries, and the consequences of such subtle differences (e.g., country with low corporate tax but strict environmental regulations, vs. country with high corporate tax, but lax labor laws).
-
Communism in theory vs practice. I'm not sure it's ever been practiced outside of a few voluntary communities. I don't think it could ever work outside of a relatively small number of likeminded individuals, and in that case more power to them. I guess the problem with such a community would be the inevitable dissent in the 2nd and 3rd generations.

You actually want a republic, not a democracy. A pure democracy is more or less mob rule. A republic restricts the peoples and government in order to protect individual rights.
-
Interesting that we fell on those years...
-
What is Communism? Creating a classless, government ordered/structured society where everything is supposedly shared. Theft of other people's property and rights often occurring. Communism always seems to lead to a one party state. Cambodia, Cuba, China, Russia/USSR, etc and all have suffered because of it. While it started as a noble cause and seemed like a good idea it does not work. Give me democracy and the market any day.
-
Have you ever looked up what communism really is? Or you just merely think that communism is dictatorship? USSR was a brutal dictatorship(especially Stalin) with some social benefits. It truly wasn't communism, look it up please :)
