Hypothetical 14th Century Global Income Distribution

Analyzing Global Income Disparities

An economist presents data on two countries:

• Country A: The average income is very high, but the wealthiest citizens earn 40 times more than the poorest citizens.
• Country B: The average income is significantly lower than in Country A, but the wealthiest citizens earn only 4 times more than the poorest citizens.

Based on this information, which statement correctly distinguishes between the two primary dimensions of inequality present?

Match each scenario with the type of economic inequality it best illustrates.
