Sen (1973 and 1997) presents the Gini coefficient of income inequality in a population as follows. "In any pair … pair-wise comparisons takes us to the Gini coefficient." (This citation is from Sen 1973, p. 8.) Sen's verbal account is … inequality (maximal inequality). In this note we show that when the Gini coefficient is elicited from a neat measure of the …
