Given the chance, most people would provide food, clothing, and shelter for their families. So what are the obstacles that keep families in vast areas of the world from following through on this basic human instinct? The answers lie in Road to Prosperity. With contributions by some of America's most prominent economists and edited by Marc A. Miles of The Heritage Foundation, The Road to Prosperity describes the intellectual foundations of Heritage's annual Index of Economic Freedom and helps to establish the Index as the premier resource in understanding the vital connection between economic freedom and the ability of people to achieve prosperity.

The Road to Prosperity argues that traditional growth theories are outdated, and provides an alternative, 21st century model of development. Aimed at students and economists, but it is also accessible to the general reader.
