Forty Maps That Explain the World From global economic inequality, to the map on China's passport, to a "partial map of geopolitical anomalies," Washington Post's World Views posts 40 (mostly) original maps that illustrate interesting social, economic, and political phenomena. Two Washington Post foreign correspondents and the post's author discuss four of the maps--racial tolerance, best and worst places to be born, US v. China popularity, and 12 month time lapse from space--in greater detail (embedded video).

Lawd, so many of those maps are full of unexamined assumptions - indeed, the selection for many is quite revealing in a lot of ways.

I think there's some interesting stuff here, but I don't quite see why this isn't better suited as a comment in the previous post?

Nice post, but the title raised -- and then immediately dashed -- my excitement about seeing a post about Chris Elliot's "Get a Life".
