Doug Henwood Talks

The 1991 Human Development Report http://hdr.undp.org/reports/global/1991/en/pdf/hdr_1991_ch1.pdf came up with a Human Freedom Index,
based on countries’ performance on some 40 measures of personal
freedom. The rankings of those in the top group, “high freedom”:

1 Sweden 2 Denmark 3 Netherlands 4 Finland 5 New Zealand 6 Austria 7 Norway 8 France 9 Germany 10 Belgium 11 Canada 12 Switzerland 13 USA 14 Australia 15 Japan 16 UK 17 Greece 18 Costa Rica

With the exception of NZ, the Anglo-Saxon “liberal” countries are not
at the top of this list.
