How many people in the world live in freedom? The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s Freedom 2014 season got Tim Harford and the More or Less team wondering about this. It’s actually pretty hard to put a number on freedom, so Tim begins by looking at something more quantifiable: how many people live in a democracy? And are people in democracies happier? Tim Harford looks at the numbers with Simon Baptist from the Economist Intelligence Unit. Plus, he examines the price of a cup of coffee, and whether Ruth Alexander can be persuaded to pay for his. The programme was broadcast live from the Media Café at ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ New Broadcasting House in London. Picture: Children jumping, Fabian Bimmer AFP Getty Presenter: Tim Harford Producer: Ruth Alexander
