To explain - Self-Determination is the latest theory of human motivation. The current economic system is at clear odds with self-determination. How many people work in the area of their true interests - as opposed to being driven by necessity - the need to put food on their table? Necessity should not be the central pursuit of the vast majority of humanity. Meeting of one's needs should be a natural byproduct of daily activities. However, the economic system is currently operating on principles of [[Artificial Scarcity]], and the distribution of prosperity is very much skewed. There is no excuse for this in a society where technological abilituy to produce far outstrips what humans need to live and thrive. This is clear from the fact that marketing, not production, is the central preoccupation of enterprise (since the advent of [[Bernays]])- ie, there are many more goods that companies can sell. That is - since about a century, human economic systems have become sufficiently sophisticated to produce ample surplus for everyone's well-being, obviating the need for slavery of centuries and millenia past. Yet today, most people are in debt, are struggling to pay their bills. This includes the haves and have-nots - where many of the haves struggle with conspicuous consumption, and many of the have-nots struggle with mere survival. Economic freedom marks the point where distribution is solved in the economic system - distribution as in the [[Distribution of Wealth]] - a pressing and unsolved frontier of the current economy. The last statement is abstract. To simplify to a more operational definition that can be measured by a simple qeustion - '''Are you working out of need (to survive and put bread on the table or roof over your head) or out of your need to thrive (true goals and purpose, as described by [[Self-Determination Theory]])?''' </div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>'''Economic freedom is marked by a historical transition of human enterprise where the vast majority of humans are pursuing livelihoods based on [[Self-Determination]], not <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">desperation</ins>.'''
