Economic Freedom
Whence came "Economic freedom means having more choices due to being wealthy"? The only way I've ever seen "economic freedom" used as an established phrase is to mean the absence of strictures on how people or organizations can (or must) use their money, as with taxes or labor laws. I suppose that "having a range of choices because you've got a lot of money" could also be a logical interpretation of the phrase, but that meaning comes just from putting the two words together, not from an actual definition established in a field of study. You could also say that a "free radical" is a person with unorthodox beliefs or practices who is free from restrictions, but doing so ignores the established meaning in chemistry. I'm changing the Economic freedom entry. Mr. Billion 07:13, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I've started a new section. Please note that although there is a slight redundancy with interwiki, there will be some languages that don't have their wikipedia yet, and therefore i think that it's appropriate to have this section. Please post your reasoning if you think otherwise before simply deleting. User:Beta m/sig
- I disagree. This sort of thing is more appropriate for Wiktionary than for a Wikipedia article. I am moving the information there. — Ливай | ☺ 03:47, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
