The GINI index is a great indicator of a society's freedom. The best
Posted by tinear on July 17, 2021 at 08:49:10:
way to explain it is to realize that in some societies a worker gets a fairer share of the scheme (all economic systems are such, of course) and in others he doesn't. Same work, different pay. Over time, the GINI correlates to upward mobility. The US is ridiculously poor in the mobility index. I'd say that's a pretty good indicator of our relative lack of freedom. I'd say the most free societies are the ones that don't continually have to harp on it, to brag about it, to feel a gun is critical to feeling "free."
