This account (by @goetzkluge.bsky.social) mainly is about inequality measures. A special focus is on the symmetrized Theil-T redundancy.

Es gibt wohl mehrere Kategorien, innerhalb derer man die Menschen in zwei Gruppen unterteilen kann. Das gilt auch für die Vermögensverteilung.

That quote gave me the idea to develop the Plato inequality measure. If you compute the Plato measure for some group A devided into a few percentiles, then the Plato measure tells you what kind of group B devided into just two percentiles would have the same Theil Redundancy as group A.
Any city however small, is divided at least into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich; these are hostile to each other. (Plato, Politeia, 370 BC)

How did the USA sink into its current state? By allowing a narcissistic felon and sociopath to assemble an incompetent administration and to troll the US citizens and the rest of the world?

Journalistisch seriöser wäre: "Sogenannte Wirtschaftsweise will Soziales kürzen und den Reichtum pflegen."

With zPlato you can present an inequality indicator in a ratio format.

Example: In the case below zPlato of an assembly with 11 groups is 52%. There is an assembly with just two groups where in the 1st group 76% of people own 24% of all ressources, while in the 2nd group 24% of people own 76 %.

The two groups assembly and the eleven groups assembly have the same symmetrized Theil redundancy.

Plato_Inequality_Indicator.hs (Haskell code) is here: in https://drive.proton.me/urls/FBYNTG45P4#RafOE8CV1KPf You can use e.g. ChatGPT or other AI services to convert the code to other languages.

20. @brankomilan.bsky.social calls the transition to the more modern form of inequality homoploutia: the top earners of wages are also often top earners of capital; in the 19th century, they weren't - wage and capital income correlated negatively, because if you have money, why work at all? /end
