The R^2 doesn't really knock your socks off, but there's something there. So that's 10x the Gini coefficient on bottom, and $GDP per capita on the left, I assume.

I found this 2006 plot which looks similar.

What line of fit should one use for a l-shaped chart?

Gini score seems to be non-correlated for the very poor countries and increasingly so for the richer ones.

If Reganomics worked we would see high ginis correlating with high wealth this is not evident at all in the either chart.
