Re: Index of inequality
How does the proposed system allow for various socio-economic systems and definitions of property? I can see issues, for example, if the poorest 10% of the population are property rather than holding property (but this may still not correlate to standard of living - for example the emperor's chief eunuch may be legally a slave and own nothing, but will live better than the majority of the population) and likewise for communistic/collective societies where it's difficult to attribute assets to any one person.
