Capitalism = Human Well-Being

States that have higher “capitalism” ratings – or more freedom for their citizens – normally also have higher “average incomes”.

Studies have shown that:

  • Citizens in high income states live longer, healthier lives
  • Children growing up in high income states are far more likely to graduate high school and college
  • People with higher levels of education report higher income earning potential, higher job satisfaction and higher overall happiness
  • People in low income states suffer from the highest rates of mental illness
  • Families in the highest income states experience lower divorce rates
  • States with higher incomes have lower rates of violent crimes
