According to Wikipedia ...

"*The Gini coefficient is a measure of statistical dispersion developed by the Italian statistician and sociologist Corrado Gini and published in his 1912 paper 'Variability and Mutability'.*

*The Gini coefficient is a measure of the inequality of a distribution, a value of 0 expressing total equality and a value of 1 maximal inequality. It has found application in the study of inequalities in disciplines as diverse as sociology, economics, health science, ecology, chemistry, engineering and agriculture.*

*It is commonly used as a measure of inequality of income or wealth Worldwide, Gini coefficients for income range from approximately 0.23 (Sweden) to 0.70 (Namibia) although not every country has been assessed*."

Let me propose a new economic theory:

**When country A** abandons good paying manufacturing jobs in favor of low paying service jobs, and opens its borders to the lowest bidder for manufacturing work,

**And country B** (in spite of PR spin about the emergence of a middle class) empowers its corrupt wealthy elite to use its populace as poverty wage production fodder for export to Country A,

**The income gap** between rich and poor widens in both countries ...

...*until the difference between communism and capitalism disappears all together*.

I offer the following proof of my theory from the chart on the Wikipedia page:
