By providing a metric of economic freedom, the Index also encourages a discussion in public forums and in state legislatures about each state's level of economic freedom, areas for policy reform, and the consequences of inaction. As the report shows, two effects of limiting economic freedom are that people flee economically oppressive states and residents are made poorer, both outcomes merit further reflection.
