David,
Had meant to reply to you to say that my sense is that the inequalities in both literary world and more generally are more prevalent in the UK. I'm from NYC, grew up there and have lived over 20 years in the UK. This sense is often confirmed by others I know who straddle the two places.
The attacks this subject invites was precisely part of what I addressed in my essay: here Clive points are very relevant. This is bad enough. But those who are presumably on this site or others like it, presumably interested in the subject, are not interested enough to hear from those in best position to present not just facts and figures (now that these are inadequate) but their context, which kind of invalidation speaks for itself, and indeed might offer precisely clues to the problem.
