Bit vague this (I got it from reddit.com, thats all it was), no source of course, but what exactly are they trying to say? http://harvardbusinessonline.hbsp.harvard.edu/b01/en/images/hbr/hbrsa/current/0707/F0707B_A.gif

In economics, there is generally a tradeoff between current consumption/the present and saving/investment/future consumption/the future. The graph shows a correlation between cultures which tend to place a relatively higher value on the future and competiveness.
