Corrado Gini: the man and the scientist
METRON - International Journal of Statistics 2011, vol. LXIX, n. 1, pp. 1-28 GIOVANNI MARIA GIORGI Corrado Gini: the man and the scientist Summary - The paper discusses the times in which Corrado Gini lived in an attempt to enrich our picture of him by adding some further information to his complex personality. Key Words - Scientific research at time of Gini; his presidency of Istat; Gini and Fascism; Gini’s “scientific” ethics. 1. Introduction Even today, 90 years after the first printing of Metron, its name is still closely linked to that of its founder, owner and editor for 45 years: Corrado Gini. When we discussed the possibility of celebrating Metron’s 90th birthday with a special issue, the current editor and I thought that it might be better to minimize the links with its founder. But after looking the question from different points of view we concluded that it is virtually impossible to separate Gini from Metron, the man from the scientist and from the time in which he lived and worked. I have written extensively on Corrado Gini and his scientific work in several articles(1 ). In writing this paper I have tried to take into account some of Samuel Kotz’s suggestions when I wrote some biographies (i.e. Rodolfo Benini, Corrado Gini

This does not just mean that some countries are more unequal than others, which is an obvious fact; it also means that the qualitative patterns of socioeconomic inequality, as well as the mechanisms which bring about that inequality and those which curb it, differ from country to country. Such country-specific patterns and mechanisms are not entirely endogenous, of course. Rather, they are the result of a historically developed interplay between internal and external political and economic dynamics: the productive specialisation pattern and growth regime; the characteristics and institutions of the labour, product and financial markets; the development, consolidation and in some cases rolling-back of the welfare state; the ebb and flow of domestic politics; the modes of subordination to supranational regulatory bodies and international financial agents. All these factors – and more –
