    «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) 

    #Phyton2 script inequality.snrk.de/oei/ for computing the #inequality measures described in #AmartyaSen's #OEI. I added my own inequality measure to the big zoo of inequality measures. The "Plato index" is hidden in the script.

    I wrote this hack many years ago and now would need quite some time to remember, what I did then.🙂

    @necrosis Diese Frage hat sich schon Platon in seiner #Politeia (ca. 400 v. Chr.) gestellt. Seine Antwort lautete, dass es sogar die beste Staatsform wäre, wenn man den klügsten und gerechtesten Leuten ein uneingeschränktes Machtmonopol einräumte - also eine Art „gute Diktatur“.

    (Später verwarf Platon diese #Philosophenherrschaft als zu utopisch. Schade eigentlich…)
