This dataset includes yearly information of the Freedom Index for multiple countries, published by Cato Institute. The Freedom Index measures Economic Freedom, Political Freedom, and Legal Freedom. Scores range between 0 and 100 with higher values indicating more freedom. Countries on the Freedom Index are divided into four categories based on their overall score: those above a seventy-five-point score (Free), those with a score between fifty and 74.9 (Mostly Free), those with a score between twenty-five and 49.9 (Mostly Unfree), and those with score from zero to 24.9 (Unfree).
