Nice talk by David McCandless on culture and data visualization.
An additional interesting take on military spending would be the relationship between the country in question and the statistics of the other countries in the world as military intentions are, in part, external (in part of his presentation, David talks about the importance of providing relative views of data rather than absolutes).


Data visualization is only as good as the data that it is based on. same principle as statistics ... garbage in, garbage out!
