Are social or economic liberties more important?

I tend to think that economic liberties are more important than social ones.

Also, let's add civic and political liberties to the equation too. If I had to rank them, it'd probably go:
- Economic
- Civic
- Social
- Political

What exactly is economic liberty? The freedom to conduct business however you want?

I'd say they both are necessary.

Social: the freedom to live your personal life how you want.

Economic: the way you work, invest, build your livelihood.

One is you living your life, the other is you working to live your life.
I don't think we can really have one without the other. Otherwise you aren't truly being yourself.

I don't think you can separate the two

Economics first. Everything else second. Can't run a government without a competent economy and economic policies. People can all the social programs they want, but if you can't afford them then what good are they?

I'd say social liberties are more important.
