The distribution of wealth is a comparison of the wealth of various members or groups in a society. It differs from the distribution of income in that it looks at the distribution of ownership of the assets in a society, rather than then current income of members of that society.

The word "wealth" is often confused with "income". These two terms describe different but related things. Wealth consists of those items of economic value that an individual owns, while income is an inflow of items of economic value. (See Stock and flow.) The relation between wealth, income, and expenses is:
A common mistake made by people embarking on a research project to determine the distribution of wealth is to use statistical data of income to describe the distribution of wealth. The distribution of income is substantially different from the distribution of wealth.

If an individual has a large income but also large expenses, their wealth could be small or even negative. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Even distribution of wealth? Does this even sound anything close to being sane? Q. How can anyony even contend that even distribution of wealth is lawful? Why should the government take from one group because of their means, and give to another group that doesn't have it? why not educate the ones that don't have it so that they can improve themselves? instead of enabling people to remain what they are, and giving them others wealth so that they can be rewarded for their lack of unction?

Al Bundy said that no one is proposing it. That's a flat out lie. That is exactly what Obama is suggesting. He wants to tax people earning above a certain amount and then wants to give it back to people making less. He is careful to say that he is giving a tax cut to 95% of working families. He fails to mention that 45% of them don't pay anything in taxes anyway. His plan is to send them a check by giving them a refundable tax credit.

Q. In "I Robot" the world is run by a computer program which allocates wealth and work where needed. One of the premises of global control of resources and production is that imbalances cause war and conflict. Is there any merit to the idea, and could we ever see 'computers' run the show? Freaky stuff ---I know!!! I am not a communist! Whatever gives you this notion? READ more carefully please. I never inferred that I endorse Isaac Asimov's 'idea' in his fictional novel. Asked by screaming monk - Mon Jun 23 15:51:57 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. if we consider that there are now governments that govern over a billion people (China/ India) it is not inconceivable that there could be a government that would govern the whole earth. If this would be the case there might not be the problem of multinationals escaping to lower wage nations and therefore not pressuring governments to cut standards for its own population. there could be equal rights for everybody and a social security system to help low or non-earners computers will surely play a role in such a scenario Answered by industrialbluelights - Mon Jun 23 20:12:43 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Distribution of wealth"  online.wsj.com Fri, 06 Aug 2010 21:38:51 GMT+00:00 Wall Street Journal ...
