When an anthropology class becomes a math class

While explaining different ways to conceptualize inequality, in perfect Van Wilder style:

"Write that down."

I had to stop myself from giggling. Also part of this lecture, we reviewed the formula for the Kolm Index, which prompted:

"If you've had any basic high school math, this won't be scary"

The formula:
k= 1/κ ln [(1/n) Σe^κ(y-y1)]

(That scares me a a little.)

Quotes from T.P. 9/10/7
