France was extremely unequal 200 years ago; now it's one of the most equal countries

Anyone verified the data, could explain where it icomes from? Seems very dubious... How anything from 1820 can be measured accurately to start with...? let alone compare to 2020...?

I'm not sure it's accurate for all countries, especially outside Europe, but 1820 isn't prehistory and most European countries already had taxes and well-kept records.
