Another set of findings is sure to upset zealots from the right: tax-and-transfer schemes can have, and are having, a significant impact in reducing inequality. In one comparison of middle-income countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, Lustig shows that Gini coefficients after taxes and transfers (including the cash value of education and health services) are significantly lower than those for initial market incomes.
另一组发现足以令铁杆右翼不安：税收和转移支付机制可能——也正在造成——巨大的降低不平等性的效应。卢斯蒂格比较了亚洲、非洲和拉美的中等收入国家，表明税收和转移支付（包括教育和卫生服务的现金价值）后基尼系数比初始市场收入基尼系数略低。
