HOW THE WORLD COMPARES HOW AMERICA COMPARES -...

This book is a reference work with an encyclopedic range  offering contemporary and systematic
comparisons between the United States and 17 other economically advanced  stable liberal
democracies  as well as some more global comparisons. It offers international data on as many
aspects of social life as possible  from taxation to traffic accidents  homicide rates to
health expenditure  and interest rates to internet usage. Wherever possible  it offers not only
the most recent available data but also trends over decades. The discussion focuses on changes
over time and comparisons between countries. Sometimes the contrasts are striking  sometimes
the commonalities are more instructive. Often national political debates are conducted in a
vacuum  and examining comparative data on policies  performance  and prospects can give a
better perspective.
