I agree that it's a stretch, but the idea that wealth inequality is an emergent property of economies makes sense to me, due to the simple fact that money invested grows exponentially. If you make more than you need to survive, and you invest the money you don't need to survive, that money grows exponentially. You'll get wealthier and wealthier over time, while someone who makes just enough to survive will never "break out" of that way of living.

I agree with you but, what is your point?
