Devised almost a century ago, both the Lorenz curve and the Gini coefficient are still widly used today as a measure of the degree of inequality exhibited by any set of figures. This paper traces the origins of these concepts, describing how Max Otto Lorenz and Corrado Gini each arrived at a new measure of inequality and exploring their motives in devoting themselves to achieving this objective.
