Shitty graphs, shitty article, and a magazine that becomes shittier every day. I remember when the New Yorker was interesting.
I love how the preceding article is called "Why Obamacare Will Work (On It's Own Terms)" and the following article "Playing The Obamacare Blame Game." Just a bunch of SWPL's who are obsessed with making the status quo work. These guys are cocksuckers.
As for the article, the charts mean nothing because America has a huge population of minorities that are part of the underclass. If you just took the college educated population of the USA, I'm sure we'd top the charts.
Second, the article assumes the countries who are chart toppers do not face any serious problems of their own. What sort of nonsensical unspoken assumption is that? Look at the second graph; Japan tops the charts in literacy and yet that country is going extinct. Who cares about speaking Japanese anyways? Why don't we brag about which countries know the most Latin while we are at it.
A country's decline or incline has very little to do with literacy, numeracy, or "problem-solving," it has everything to do with it's cultural fabric; the willingness of it's countrymen to stick together and support one another, it's ability to crush its competitors (America is still #1), and the quality of the government guiding these factors. When measured in these terms, America is going downhill fast, but that makes a lot more sense than the regular SWPL preaching about "education," which is just university dogma.
