Abstract: The purpose of this note is to build an ethical inequality index which explicitely takes into account the social attitude towards inequlaity, through the actual tax scheme. We give a rough empirical application of this subjective inequality index to the evolution of wage inequality in France over the period 1982-1992. It appears that the decision maker's equality mindedness increased over this period.
