Ibis - that is an interesting graph - was it generated from reputable stats? Look! There is a big appalling value for money spike over the US and look! there is another little one right over Ireland.

And the book

Which is about randomness and uncertainty and is subtitled like this
The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

Hard to believe that Monaco's per capita spending is lees than Sweden and less than the USA. I smell a rat.

It must be out of date since Ireland's life expectancy is now one of the leaders in the European Union, at 76.8 for males and 81.6 for females in 2006.
