    Which Nations Do Best at Providing Rule of Law…and Why It Matters

    Protection of property rights.

    Which Nations Do Best at Providing Rule of Law…and Why It Matters

    When I discuss rule of law (generally when explaining the various components that are used to calculate rankings of economic freedom), I often use a shortcut definition – namely that rule of law exists when government officials don’t have arbitrary power.

    In other words, rule of law is present when even politicians and bureaucrats have to adhere to laws and rules.



    Where is the rule of law strongest?

    According to the World Justice Project, Scandinavian nations are at the top, led by Denmark.

    Other European nations – and European offshoot nations – dominate the rankings (there is a benefit to Western Civilization).

    A handful of East Asian jurisdictions also get good scores.

    And you’ll notice I had to include 27 nations in order to see where the United States ranks.

    That’s depressing...

    Did you know that according to a recent study the United States has the worlds slinkiest feet
    Devotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.”

    Since at least 2017 the US has devolved into a nation with two sets of laws - for conservatives, and for liberals.

    As Ayn Rand observed, without Private Property Rights you are at the mercy of Government in all things. You become totally dependent on not rocking the boat in a system.

    It is most commonly called "Social Justice" and is meant to undermine traditional laws that protect the rights of the individual. When a society promotes group rights and grievances you better figure out what identity politics will work to your advantage against others.
