In the Harsanyi framework, social welfare judgements are made behind a veil of ignorance. The Atkinson, Kolm, Generalized Entropy, and Bourguignon-Shorrock indices of economic inequality can be interpreted as measures of the riskiness of an income distribution when viewed from behind a veil of ignorance. The advantages of interpreting these inequality measures in the Harsanyi framework are discussed.
