"Sure, but they had to get rich in the first place."

That can be achieved by being born with the right parents, not necessarily by doing intelligent things.

Again, exceptions are irrelevant. We're talking about the aggregate here.

[enraged_camel]

You have yet to prove that those are exceptions.

That's because it's self-evident. People get rich by allocating capital effectively. QED.

[enraged_camel]

What is self-evident is that you're just trolling, and have no interest in actual discourse. QED.

Do you not understand the issue? I'm not trolling. You become wealthy by allocating capital efficiently. This is econ 101. How hard is this to understand?

[enraged_camel]

I already responded. There are many ways to become wealthy. "Allocating capital efficiently" is just one of them. You keep claiming it is the most common way, and the rest, such as inheriting money, are "exceptions". I asked you to provide a citation. You refused, and provided a shallow response instead, saying it is "self-evident". Hence, you have no interest in actual discourse.
