6) India and China have the most inequity, but the U.S. would be in
third in this list. Macau, curiously, has the least -- ratio very
close to Luxembourg again.
Correction: scratch the word "inequity" here, that's the wrong term!
(Well from a conservative's point of view it might be called that.)
For inequality, the GINI numbers for these are as below (from Wikipedia
except where noted):
Luxembourg 27.2
Cuba 38.0
Macau 52.0

India 33.9
China 47.4
United States 47.7
Yemen 37.7

Afghanistan 27.8
North Korea 31
For comparison, Santa Fe county (FIPS=35049) had a GINI in 2000 of 46
and Los Alamos (FIPS 35028) had one of 33, which was near the lowest in
the country. Which makes sense, because Los Alamos is, shall we say, an
`orderly' company town. Manhattan (FIPS 36061) was 58.5 in 2000.
