Torpor Indy on the Human Development Index

Torpor Indy has an excellent post on the Human Development Index. (PDF) The jist: the U.S. ranks 10th in the list which is essentially a ranking of how good a country is for its citizens. Our 10th place showing is down from 3rd back in 1999. And Torpor Indy suspects we’re worse off than our 10th place showing suggests. The top 10: 1 Norway, 2 Iceland, 3 Australia, 4 Luxembourg, 5 Canada, 6 Sweden, 7 Switzerland, 8 Ireland, 9 Belgium, 10 United States.
