It?s a special moment in U.S. history in which income inequality has reached unprecedented levels, poverty remains extreme, and racial and gender inequalities are intransigent.

This paper discusses two issues in the relationship between inequality and economic growth: the data and the econometrics. We first review the inequality data set of Deininger and Squire, which, we argue, fails to provide adequate or accurate longitudinal and cross-country coverage. We then introduce our own measures of the inequality of manufacturing pay, based on the UNIDO Industrial Statisti...

Let $S(\rho)$ be the von Neumann entropy of a density matrix $\rho$. Weak monotonicity asserts that $S(\rho_{AB}) - S(\rho_A) + S(\rho_{BC}) S(\rho_C)\geq 0$ for any tripartite $\rho_{ABC}$, fact is equivalent to strong subadditivity entropy. We prove an operator inequality, which, upon taking expectation value with respect state reduces weak inequality. Generalizations this inequality one invo...
