Freedom in the 50 States is one of the most comprehensive and definitive sources on how public policies in each American state impact an individual’s economic, social, and personal freedoms. The 2023 edition presents a completely revised and updated ranking of the American states on the basis of how their policies protect or infringe on individual liberty. Authors William Ruger and Jason Sorens introduce many new policy variables suggested by readers and changes in the broader policy environment (for example, universal school choice and state laws that shape local zoning authority).
Freedom in the 50 States remains an essential reference for scholars, policymakers, and concerned citizens interested in advancing a better understanding of a free society.
