"Global inequality is much greater than inequality within any individual country.

The very paper you quote says your opening statement is at best, completely backwards.

Quote: "However, inequality across the global population is actually falling."

I've just finished reading the paper. It concludes that only the top 1% (those guys!) some of the middle class of emerging markets and a very small percentage of the truly destitute have made gains, but overall, global inequality is not decreasing and many "1st" world nation are seeing significant increases in inequality.

The charts tell all.
