Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland, widely considered to be the most liberal countries on Earth, all rank as 'mostly free' on the Index of Economic Freedom.
The countries that rank the lowest on economic freedom are failed states and authoritarian dictatorships such as Iran, Myanmar, Belarus and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
I think both liberals and conservatives support basic economic freedoms such as property rights, business freedom and investment freedom. I consider these modern, Western values, not 'conservative' values. The only difference is that liberals support high taxes and a stronger welfare state.
