I think this is a bad way to gauge an economy.

If you want to look at why people are poor, I would look towards corruption rather than merely inequality. Or maybe people in a country are poor on paper but can afford a hundred dollars of luxuries a week.

Using gini reminds me of GIGO. You used a poor metric for information, your decisions are going to be poor.
