Slipping in The 2010 Index of Economic Freedom

http://www.heritage.org/Index/Country/Vietnam
Vietnam’s economic freedom score is 49.8, making its economy the 144th freest in the 2010 Index. Its score has decreased by 1.2 points since last year, reflecting reduced scores in five of the 10 economic freedoms. Vietnam is ranked 33rd out of 41 countries in the Asia–Pacific region, and its overall score is lower than the world and regional averages.
Disappointing result.  Let's reverse the pattern of zig-zag progress.
