How to Be Optimistic About a Post-Brexit Britain

The British economy has proven resilient to the summer's Brexit vote, and a new survey gives some reason for optimism about the nation's prospects outside the European Union.

Only this ranking goes beyond the traditional measures of rising economic output and wages. Countries are rated in five known indicators of success to create what's called the Indigo Score. Global Perspectives, a journal created by Mikhail Fridman’s LetterOne investment business, assesses countries for stability and a legal framework; creativity and innovation; economic diversity; a robust digital economy; and domestic freedoms. The nations are scored using more than 30 measures of economic potential, from the number of patent applications to the prevalence of mobile phone subscriptions.
