May I ask that options promoting free market don't sink the economy like this? Seriously, how in the world cutting subsidies could be the economic equivalent of what outlawing elections mean to political freedom?

Your economy fell from 83 -> 77 -> 55. It wasn't one fell swoop, it was two. So another issue contributed to that drop. Your nation doesn't have an overwhelming amount of momentum in any stat, so that option pushed your nation to an anti-business subsidies position.
You are an extremely new nation, so your stats are much more malleable. Overtime your nation will (for the most part) become more stable.

In the real world, you would need to cut way back on government spending - cut it in half at least - reducing taxes and perhaps deregulating industry, taking a hit to environment and social services. In NationStates, you probably need to start picking every subsidy to private industry that you can, and veto any spending on anything else for the time being. Note that most things that involve government action involved government spending.

In your case, you'd built up your business subsidies over a number of years to boost your economic strength. You chose an option that says:"What socialistic nonsense," retorts Finance Minister @@RANDOMNAME@@, taking a break from scowling at jobless protesters. "That food price shock wasn't because of too little government meddling. The real cause was bad planning, a side-effect of half-baked subsidies. The market is smarter than a bunch of bureaucrats, so we should cut all subsidies propping up enterprises that don't turn a real profit. And if some people still can't find bread, then let them eat cake."
...which as it says, cut all your business subsidies. That is obviously going to have a big impact on your economy.
Having said all that, you've got a relatively high level of economic freedoms, which should keep your economy fairly strong. There's a slight disjoint in representing this on the trend graph as a result of some changes from the refactoring a while ago. I've brought it up with the admins again, to see if it can be resolved.
Note: that's re. the economic freedoms, not restoring your level of business subsidies. You chose to cut them, and thus you'll have to build them up again if you wish to.
