Abstract: A characterization is given of a class of classical Lorentz spaces on which the Hardy Littlewood maximal operator is bounded. This is done by determining the weights for which Hardy's inequality holds for nonincreasing functions. An alternate characterization, valid for nondecreasing weights, is also derived.
