"Forty-six percent of Canadians feel their government does more to help than to hurt its citizens' economic mobility, whereas only 36 percent of Americans feel this way. But Americans are more likely than Canadians to say that there are a range of measures the government could take to improve economic mobility. While Project data show that Americans remain "stuck" at the bottom of the earnings ladder more often than Canadians, Americans actually are less likely than Canadians to think that parental income makes a difference in the ability of children to move up. Only 42 percent of Americans said that they believe one's financial success is tied to parental income versus 57 percent of Canadians."

The ideas interview: Franco Moretti | Books | The Guardian
Bookmarked on Monday, 25. January 2010
"Moretti has spoken previously of making criticism less like a Platonic academy, and more like a laboratory. But what does he mean by that? "A Platonic academy, or symposium," he says, "is a group of people sitting round a table discussing ideas, which is a great thing to do. But it may have run its course, historically. What I mean by talking about laboratories is that larger and larger banks of data are becoming available, and we have absolutely no idea of how to deal with them. In just a few years, all the texts in existence will be online, and searchable. We really do not know how to pose useful questions to that mass of information."
