I think that each country has different developed economies and different rights that pertain to expanding or limiting economic and personal growth. For those scoring with high GDP those countries have larger economies, more technology, and more property rights. In these high scoring GDP countries because people are allowed to invest in things like property, patents, business licenses it allows for a competitive market to take place where only the best are surviving because people get the free will to choose which company or product best suits their needs. In the lower scoring countries because they do not have the ability to make investments into anything because their private property rights are not protected that reflects in their GDP because they are not having as much money flowing in and out of their economy. They also have to choose from a restricted choice of products and companies because their economy is not as far developed as other countries.
