The states in which you have Market Economy
are the ones with less inequality.
The United Nations publishes every year the Gini Coefficient.
The Gini Coefficient is a statistical index
created by an Italian economist, Corrado Gini,
many years ago, 1912,
and it measures the wealth and the admission belonging to the richest 20%
and how much belongs to the poorest 20%.
And it establishes a measurement.
It's supposed that when this measurement...
the counting goes from zero to one.
Zero would be a country where everybody has the same
and one would be the country where one person owns everything.
The most unequal of all is one, the least unequal would be zero.
They make the calculation and multiply by one hundred for it to be clearer,
and the Gini Coefficient shows that the least unequal countries in the world
are the ones with a more developed capitalist economy.
In first place the Scandinavian countries,
England, Switzerland,
Spain is among the countries with less inequality,
and, in the Gini coefficient, these countries have between 1 and 2 points...
0,2 and 0,3...
A country like Brazil, I believe, has 0,67.
That is, the inequality index is much higher.
But why is this index lower in the developed countries?
The lower index does not come from a distributive policy,
conceived to reduce the difference,
but because the corporative network is so competitive,
and adds so much value to production,
that the workers have higher and higher salaries.
The average income of a worker in Switzerland, per hour,
is of more than twenty dollars an hour.
This is the consequence
of the complexity of the corporative network.
So, the demonstrated truth
is that the lower inequality is where the capitalism works better
and where there is more market
and more competition.
