Charitable Nations

Yet another study covering charity. Until now, the most widely used measure was "foreign aid per capita" in which the U.S. and Canada don't do so well.

The World Giving Index seems to include more "intangible" criteria such as "have you helped someone out this year." Although it's not clear if punching someone off the side of the head to knock bad sense out of them qualifies. I think it should.

In this index, North America does really well. If you country scored higher than 6.0 congratulations.You do your bit in making this place that much more kinder, gentler and digestable.

I'm sure criticism about the methodolgy will follow soon enough.
