Advances on income inequality and concentration measures

This impressive collection from some of today's leading distributional analysts provides an overview a wide range of economic, statistical and sociological relationships that have been opened up for scientific study by the work of two turn-of-the-20th-century economists: C. Gini and M. O. Lorenz. The authors include such figues as Barry Arnold and Frank Cowell and the resulting book deserves its place on the bookshelf of serious mathematical economists everywhere. © 2008 Editorial matter and selection, Gianni Betti and Achille Lemmi; individual chapters, the contributors.
