A recent post on the Economist’s Graphic Detail blog discusses the importance of wealth to Europeans based on the recently released results of the European Social Survey.

Russia had the highest percentage of respondents who said that people who thought it was important to be rich were “like” them, at nearly 40%.The Importance of Being Rich
