From your link:
"The equivalence of mass and inertia seems to hold true according to
all empirical evidence (see (Click link for more info and facts about
gravitational physics) gravitational physics and also Mach's principle,
below). In theory at least they are sometimes regarded as being
separate qualities."
For further reading, see Max Jammer's "Concepts of Mass in contemporary
physics and philosophy", pub. by Princeton, 2000.
Chapter 1 is titled "Inertial Mass". There are four more chapters ....
