Among other things it contains a table of US and UK attitutes to certain things, e.g. Do you believe in the Devil? US - 45%, UK 13%, or do you believe in unlimited abortion rights, 46% to 17%, support a ban on handguns 32%/83%. Also some facts and figures -- % of people earning less than 40% of median income, US 14%, UK 5%, defence spending per head, $1059, $576, govt spending as a % of gdp, 30% to 39%. Obviously the Economist has chosen these questions and figures because they are arresting, but nonetheless they are.
