1. http://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/ - sorry, i don't have the link
directly to the graph, which plots these things against social and
economic
wellbeing; the US is the outlier to the general trend that affluence
reduces nationalism and religiosity.
Maybe this is an example of the Value of Moment Generating Functions?
The US may only appear to be an outlier because of its wide
disparities. Intra-US, it would be fair to say that affluence reduces
nationalism and religiosity -- but as the affluence is pretty
concentrated, it's easy to find both a high mean level of affluence,
and a high modal level of nationalism and religiosity.
