Abstract: Let $alpha$ be a given real number. It is shown that for a given $alpha$-concave function, its symmetric decreasing rearrangement is always harder to approximate in the symmetric difference metric by $alpha$-affine minorants with a fixed number of break points. This extends a classical result of Macbeath (1951) from convex bodies to a functional setting.
