  • Americans Want to Live in Sweden – Americans grossly overestimate how egalitarian our economy is, and would *still* prefer that it was more egalitarian than they think it is. On average, consistent across all demographic groups, we appear to want to live in Sweden.
  • US States Renamed for Countries with Similar GDP – I think more than anything, this probably highlights how ridiculous GDP is as a measure of development or global significance. Texas == Brazil? Florida == Australia? Virginia == Saudi Arabia? Yikes.
