The Heritage Foundation is an American conservative think tank[1]. I think I'll take what they have to say with a pinch of salt.

Anyway we aren't really talking about removing peoples economic freedoms, you can have a strong economy whilst retaining workers rights, social support and environmental controls. It's the poorest parts of the world that don't have a handle on this stuff.

Are you referring to the Index of Economic Freedom in the second paper?

1. The data is freely available and you can check the methodology yourself: https://www.heritage.org/index/pdf/2016/book/methodology.pdf

2. "We check the robustness of our results using alternative freedom indices."
