The study examined the evolution of the concept of economic freedom in the economic theories as one of the economic policies that works to restructure weak economies, and how it relates to programs of stabilization and structural adjustment, adopted by the IMF and the World Bank.

It also points to the economic circumstances in which this policy is applied in the context of economic reform programs, especially for developing countries and goals that can be achieved through the application of this policy.

It examined the procedures and tools used by the policy of economic freedom to restructure the economy, and the arising social and economic impacts.

It covered one of the most important aspects of economic reform programs and that’s its freedom and transformation to a free market economy and the discharge of this on the economy and society, and how to address the implications of applying the concept of a free economy.

The study represented a problem in what is the concept of economic freedom policy and how it has evolved over time and what are the most important policies and programs associated with this policy and how it applies in any particular economic conditions.

The researcher followed in this study, the descriptive approach to describe the phenomenon and its definition and historical approach to see the evolution of it.

He found that the application of economic freedom policy leads to the widespread poverty among segments of society and increase the proportion of the unemployed attributed to the implementation of the privatization policy, and to devote the notion of dependency and replacement of foreign capital instead of national capital.

States must pursue the policies to face the effects of the application of this policy, which allow the private sector to play its role.

State should only be an observer and director for economy, emphasizing on spending money on health, education, defense and security areas, which is the basis for the economic activity of the private sector.
