“Mini Schengen”: Western Balkans’ Embrace of Market

Tanja Porcnik and Visio Institut/November 26, 2019 /Leave a comment

The Western Balkan countries already have plans for bold and deep institutional reforms that will not only liberalize and deliver a boost to their economies, but will also, most importantly, significantly improve the level of freedom enjoyed by the people in the region.

Eastern Europe 30 Years After Revolution

Tanja Porcnik and Visio Institut/May 20, 2019 /Leave a comment

Thirty years later, public policies and political institutions of the former socialist economies do not equally support economic freedom, just as they do not observe the same level of international trade, foreign direct investment, and income.

Global Geography Of Economic Freedom Tells Much about Values

Daniel Hinst and Centre for Public Policy and Economic Analysis/April 5, 2018 /Leave a comment

Global geography of economic freedom tells much about values. Economic freedom is far from being able to conduct structural reforms and downsizing bureaucracy. Values should come first and only then be followed by cooperation in the form of geopolitical alliances, which guarantee freedom from repression.

Economic Freedom in Light of Central Bank Independence: The Case of Slovenia in a Free-Market Context

Jure Stojan and Visio Institut/March 27, 2018 /Leave a comment

Because of the binding constraints of European treaties and EU law, there are few remaining lines of attack against the Bank of Slovenia’s independence. This article places these developments within the normative and positive contexts of free markets.

2018 Index of Economic Freedom Shows Croatia’s Clear Priorities

Daniel Hinst and Centre for Public Policy and Economic Analysis/February 8, 2018February 8, 2018 /Leave a comment

Croatia is currently 61% economically free. There is no country with more than 90%. Therefore, Croatia’s competitive gap is much more than 39% deficit in economic freedom. Croatia’s challenge is to compete with much better countries of Central Eastern Europe.

Economic Freedom Against Poverty and Authoritarianism

Marek Tatala and FOR/October 17, 2017October 16, 2017 /Leave a comment

We sometimes hear that the only type of liberalism we need today is “political liberalism” while classical liberal ideas in the economy can be neglected. The view that we need only political freedom, without a broad range of economic freedoms, is not isolated and requires a response.

Georgian Economic Illusions and Realities

Gia Jandieri and New Economic School Georgia/May 24, 2016 /Leave a comment

The experience of dealing with Russia over the past 200 years has taught us that the only thing Russia respects is power; and we will only have power if we stay close to our friends. However, soon thereafter any such pragmatism was once again forgotten and we now continue living with our illusions as if nothing has happened.

From Swamp to Top of the World

Jan Oravec/September 10, 2015August 29, 2017 /1 Comment

The story of Singapore does not match the usual idea of combining democracy and the market economy. While in the developed countries of the West, democracy has been threatening the functioning of the market economy, Singapore and its authoritarian regime has maintained the status of the easiest country to do business in.
