Abstract: Inequality is an inherent part of our lives: we see it in the distribution of incomes, talents, citations, to name a few. However, its intensity varies across environments: there are systems where the available resources are relatively evenly distributed but also where a small group of items or agents controls the majority of assets. Numerous indices for quantifying the degree of inequality have been proposed but in general, they work quite differently.
