Economic Freedor is not equivalent to goverment control

It’s evidently a big factor however - “Economic Freedom” is pushed by the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute, and a big factor is “freedom” from regulation, taxes, etc.

It is directly proportional

Nop, If you check the Economic Freedom Index some items need more government control, like property rights or judicial effectiveness.
