The Gini Coefficient

Chapter 20 of the Ministry for the Future begins with a description of the Gini coefficient.

From Wikipedia:

In economics, the Gini coefficient, also known as the Gini index or Gini ratio, is a measure of statistical dispersion intended to represent the income inequality or the wealth inequality or the consumption inequality within a nation or a social group. It was developed by statistician and sociologist Corrado Gini.
