The Mercatus Center (a Libertarian oriented think tank at George Mason University) has published a report ranking the states by "their public policies that affect individual freedom in the economic, social, and personal spheres." It is often hard to know what to make of these kinds of reports (there is always an agenda at work). But - for whatever it is worth - the report ranks Mississippi as follows:
Fiscal Policy Ranked 23rd
Regulatory Policy Ranked 30th
Economic Freedom Ranked 30th
Personal Freedom Ranked 12th
Overall Freedom Ranked 24th
The Citizens for Tax Justice has a post that critiques some aspects of the report.
