Document: Cracking the Gini Code (Part I)

Part 1 of this paper discusses and demonstrates an alternative interpretation of the Gini graph information that models and measures economy efficiency rather than income distribution in a closed local economy. Part 2 uses the concept of the closed local economy to demonstrate how, with digital networking technology, and through adding a capped co-operative base to the local economy, viable and sustainable economic solutions could be found to the bottom-up pressure of unemployment on rural economies in South Africa, as well as to the pressure of local land change on the biospheres of these economies.
