Answer to Question 1

Economic freedom is a condition when people are able to make their own choices, their private property is protected, and they are free to trade in markets. Economic freedom is a necessary precondition for economic growth because all three aspects of economic freedom are highly growth enhancing. People are the best judges of their own interests and abilities, so allowing them to make their own decisions creates the best decisions about what activities will be undertaken. Protecting private property is necessary in order to give people the incentives to specialize and trade as well as to save and invest, all actions that will increase economic growth. Letting people trade in free markets again respects people's abilities to make the best decisions for themselves, and also increases people's incentives to specialize and trade.
