In this lesson students take on the role of entrepreneurs looking for a place to start their business. They work with a team to research 4 countries and choose the one that is most desirable for their start-up. After learning about the institutions of economic freedom students compare their rankings with the Economic Freedom of the World Index and discover that the countries most conducive to entrepreneurship are those with high levels of economic freedom.
