An often overlooked contributor to the region’s highly combustible condition is a pervasive lack of economic opportunity and economic freedom. Our free market system is just what the region needs.Wed, 19 Sep 2012 00:00:00 -0400{14B33605-E3F1-41B6-9FFE-A035A3452BF9}http://www.heritage.org/research/factsheets/2012/09/defending-the-dream-why-income-ineqality-does-not-threaten-opportunityThe American Dream is first and foremost about hard work and the opportunities created by a free economy.Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:57:00 -0400{5BD2FB20-2EBC-4E22-91A3-CF433A2A86F2}http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2012/09/defending-the-dream-why-income-inequality-does-not-threaten-opportunityDavid Azerrad, Rea S.

Roberts, Ariel Cohen, Ph.D., James Roberts, Ariel CohenCentral Asia, especially Kazakhstan—rich in oil and gas, and the world’s largest landlocked country—is the focus of many Fortune 500 companies seeking new business development and market penetration in emerging economies. In the 2012 edition of the Index of Economic Freedom, Kazakhstan’s economy ranks as the 65th-freest in the world. Kazakhstan ranks higher than all other Central Asian countries, and its overall score is higher than the world average in general, and Russia in particular (place 144). There remains much room for improvement—which Kazakhstan can achieve if it pursues additional market-oriented reforms, the rule of law, government transparency, tougher anti-corruption laws, and counterterrorism measures.Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:40:00 -0400{5C734D2E-6181-4872-A7F1-D8AA4C9E516B}http://www.heritage.org/multimedia/video/2012/06/beach-fbn-6-15-12William Beach, William W.
