Los #Gini de los países escandinavos me sorprenden. Poco desiguales los de ingresos, pero mucho más desiguales que en España en el caso de la riqueza. ¿Por qué?

It is not the political sign of your governments, stupid. It is #geography (and/or #races)
#Gini #income #wealth #inequality
Geographic #determinism - #PIGS
Since the #Gini indexes are not a target of governments, but just a by-product of many political and economic factors, the geographical coincidence must be the result of other strong forces acting as unique attractors.

@econnaturalist @dlacalle @lugaricano @nntaleb Now look at the distribution of African countries: positive correlation of #income and #wealth GINIs.
So, my dear #PIGS, you are at the (dangerous?) intersection of European civilized countries and African countries. No wonder you have economic and #governance problems.
@econnaturalist @dlacalle @lugaricano @nntaleb Could it be that the clustering of Scandinavian countries in the left upper corner is the result of a more widespread practice of delayed gratification among those populations? That would mean higher #savings, so higher transmission of #wealth between generations.
#inequality
@econnaturalist @dlacalle @lugaricano @nntaleb If so, the position of #PIGS on the graph would suggest that the propensity to save of households in those countries is just as poor -proportionally- as the propensity in African countries. Ominous.
