Abstract：

This paper examinesthe relationship between capitalism and income inequality for a large sample ofcountries using an adjusted economic freedom index as proxy for capitalism andGini coefficients based on gross-income as proxy for income inequality. Theresults suggest that there is no robust relationship between economic freedomand income inequality. In addition, this paper analyzes the relationshipbetween income redistribution (measured by the ratio of the income distributionresulting from market processes and the income distribution afterredistribution) and ethno-linguistic fractionalization. The paper finds thatthe impact of ethno-linguistic fractionalization on income redistribution isconditional on the level of economic freedom: countries that have a high degreeof fractionalization have less income redistribution, while capitalistcountries that have a low degree of fractionalization have more incomedistribution. A shortened version of this paper published in the AER of May2015.
