Get the Fartapeutic index mug.A proposed alternative metric to indices like the "Economic Freedom Index" (which equates freedom with deregulation). This index would measure the substantive freedom of the working class based on factors like: job security, union density, access to healthcare and housing, free time (leisure vs. work hours), workplace democracy, and power over community decisions. It redefines freedom from "freedom from the state" to "freedom from exploitation and insecurity."
Example: According to the Proletariat Freedom Index, a Scandinavian country with strong unions, a generous social safety net, and codetermination laws would rank highly, while a US state with "right-to-work" laws, no paid leave, and rampant gig economy precarity would rank near the bottom, despite scoring high on a traditional "economic freedom" index.

Get the Proletariat Freedom Index mug.The systemic, often invisible skews built into the methodologies of influential global indices (e.g., Democracy Index, Corruption Perceptions Index, Ease of Doing Business). These biases can include: conceptual bias (defining "democracy" only as multi-party liberal democracy), source bias (relying on surveys of Western-educated elites), methodological bias (weighting factors that favor neoliberal policies), and political bias (producing results that align with the geopolitical interests of the organizations' home countries). Index biases turn quantitative measurement into a powerful tool for ideological normalization.
Example: The Corruption Perceptions Index is often criticized for Index Biases. It tends to rate poorer countries as more corrupt, often because it measures the perception of Western business elites, not the reality of, say, legalized corruption (lobbying, regulatory capture) in wealthy nations. This bias shapes investment flows and political discourse, punishing the Global South for forms of corruption the index is blind to in the West.
