You’re right, it’s an excellent chart. I would have liked to see the “average Gini Coefficient” that the US is above of. How would you calculate that? The sum of the Gini Coefficients divided by the number of countries? Or weighed by population of the respective countries? Or by the income generated in each country?

On a side note: The link is broken.

Thank you. When you run your cursor over the image, you get what looks like a partially-doubled address.
