However, this essay is specifically about wealth so at most I'd criticize this use as somewhat ambiguous instead of assuming that PG meant income Gini and therefore confuses income with wealth.
- whimsicalism 6y agoHaving read a fair bit of discussion of inequality, I think that in any popular discussion if you see the phrase "gini coefficient" unqualified, you should presume it to be discussing income, even if the rest of the discussion was about wealth. It's a very pervasive error.
