Opis

Today many people talk about human freedom, but until now we do not have an index which would show which have increases or decreases of people's freedoms.

What "specific material" should we use when carrying out our research on the subject of human freedom?

The freedom of the population is realized in their spare away work time. This situation should somehow be taken into account by the "Liberty Index."

I suggest we include segments of the spare time of millions of people, assimilated by "enlightenment services," "entertainment services" and "educational services" in the Liberty Index.

Every day we are involved in the services of enlightenment, entertainment, and education. This circumstance should be taken into account in the "Liberty Index." This index can be represented in a three dimensional space.

Bi
LINDEX (a, bi, Cj)
A
Cj
Where

A-the vector of education services;

Bi-the vector of enlightenment services;

Cj-the vector of entertainment services.

LibertyINDEX = a + bi = Cj
I suggest we examine the services of education, enlightenment or entertainment taking into accounting the following four views of economic relations:

- production-p
- distribution-d
- exchange-e
- consumption-c
