In this, and in other areas of economics, lateral thinking has made a significant contribution. At the same time, there are dangers. The parallel may be deceptive. The paper examines two ways in which a straightforward translation of techniques from one field to another can be misleading and one example where lateral thinking about multi-dimensional inequality has considerable promise.
