A guide to the world's most libertarian countries - Telegraph

I guess the take away from this is if you legalize and then tax/regulate drugs, prostitution, and "gay rights"; and have no income taxes but still pay into social insurance taxes, you're well on your way onto the list of "most libertarian" countries?

Interesting factoids, but some criteria need to be more weighted than others.

For example, your right to own property is the foundation of most other rights. From this you can assert your ownership of your body, ownership of your land, ownership of your labor.

The degree to which governments infringe on your body, land, and labor gives you a picture of how free you are.

Gun ownership, drug ownership, prostitution, income tax, gay marriage.... all these issues stem back to the question of ownership.

I'd like to see a study on property rights across the nations.
