Ginis

[Mikalac Norman S NSSC]

very interesting.  i would like to see the corresponding average per capita
income/GDP so i can tell where the pie is becoming larger or smaller for
each of those countries during the stated time periods.  are those available
too?

thanks for your help.

Here's the full list. Milanovic scales his ginis from 0-100 instead 
of the more conventional 0-1. For those not familiar with the gini, 
see <http://www.panix.com/~dhenwood/Gini_supplement.html>. (rur) is 
rural; (urb), urban.
