Introduction -- Chapter 1. Population and Life Expectancy -- Chapter 2. Government and Politics -- Chapter 3. Economy -- Chapter 4. Work and the Labour Force -- Chapter 5. Government Taxes and Spending -- Chapter 6. Health -- Chapter 7. Education -- Chapter 8. Inequality and Social Welfare -- Chapter 9. Immigration and Refugees -- Chapter 10. Gender -- Chapter 11. International Relations -- Chapter 12. Environment and Energy -- Chapter 13. Science and Technology -- Chapter 14. Telecommunications and Computing -- Chapter 15. Media -- Chapter 16. Family -- Chapter 17. Lifestyles and Consumption -- Chapter 18. Crime and Social Problems -- Chapter 19. Religion and Social Attitudes -- Chapter 20. The Search for Scoreboards -- Chapter 21. Presidential Performance.

This book is a reference work with an encyclopedic range, offering contemporary and systematic comparisons between the United States and 17 other economically advanced, stable liberal democracies, as well as some more global comparisons. It offers international data on as many aspects of social life as possible, from taxation to traffic accidents, homicide rates to health expenditure, and interest rates to internet usage. Wherever possible it offers not only the most recent available data but also trends over decades. The discussion focuses on changes over time and comparisons between countries. Sometimes the contrasts are striking; sometimes the commonalities are more instructive. Often national political debates are conducted in a vacuum, and examining comparative data on policies, performance and prospects can give a better perspective.
