Neither is unambiguous. The expression 'economic freedom' has at least two meanings in current use. Sometimes it is used to denote the freedom of the individual from economic hardship. In the political writings of today both conservatives and socialists advocate 'economic freedom'. Conservatives, when they speak of 'economic freedom', usually mean 'the freedom of the national economy from the controls of the State'.
Socialists usually mean 'freedom from economic hardship'.
What makes this ambiguity particularly unfortunate is that the 'economic freedom' recommended by the socialists is held by them to be possible only at the expense of 'economic freedom' in the sense in which it is recommended by conservatives. Thus the political controversies of the present day disclose a paradox analogous to the case where 'freedom' recommended by the Romantic and Progressive respectively turned out to be purchasable in either sense only at the expense of 'freedom' in the other. An adjective in front of 'freedom' can be depended on to eliminate equivocation only if it says what that freedom is freedom from or freedom for. Compare the word 'free' with the word 'prepared'.
