So what are the freest countries in the world?

And how do you even categorize that?

I mean, obviously there's a lot of opinions with respect to political freedom,

economic freedom, personal freedom.

Well, we've looked at a couple of indexes by the Fraser Institute,

by the Cato Institute, by the Heritage Foundation,

to go ahead and look at these numbers over time in order

to bring you something of a comprehensive list of the five freest countries in the world,

not to mention the fact that I think we're going to have a little bit, we're going to take

some issues with some of the countries that are listed as the most free.

Also, we're going to talk about where

the United States falls on this list, along with where it fell in this list a decade ago

versus where it is now, some of the disturbing trends that have taken place. But as always,

there's some good news. There's some good news that the United States can, in fact, pull this

off. And in part, it's because of which

countries actually the freest ranked as the freest in the world today. All of that and more

coming up on this episode of making the argument. No matter where you were watching today's

live stream, we would love to take your questions. If you have a question, please start your
