Most presentations of the Gini index are based on areas of the Lorenz curve, a rather abstract notion. This short note provides an intuitive justification for the Gini indes base on mean absolute deviations.La mayoría de las discusiones intutivas sobre el coeficiente de Gini se basan en áreas de la curva de Lorenz, un concepto abstracto para muchos. Esta breve nota provee una justifación intuitiva del indice de Gini, en base a promedios simples de diferencias de ingreso
