The Gini Coefficient measures the area between the Lorenz curve and the line of absoluate equality in an economy. The bigger the Gini Coefficient, the greater the inequality in a single country. Fiscal policy can help redistribute income and reduce inequality through taxation of high earners and welfare to those on lower incomes.
