I think the Chinese would think differently. "To get rich is glorious." - Deng Xiaoping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China If anything, The United States and Western Europe is more communist than anyone else in the world. China, Vietnam, Moldova, and Nepal (the last two have democratically elected communists in power) all have much higher GINI coefficients than the West. |
Eh... isn't the ultimate goal of both free marketeers and command economists less income disparity, in the end? They're just different answers to the same question - how do we make life better for everyone? All the gini coefficient is proving is that the free market (well, closer-to) economies are far closer to achieving their goals than the fully command economies... and, let's be honest, that's neither a coincidence, or surprising.
