The "law" of wealth concentration

[Max Sawicky]

Now I see why socialism doesn't work:  It violates the laws of physics -- or
so claims an article in New Scientist this week.

Here's the article's abstract:  "Every country in the world has a few rich
people and then a long tail of poorer and poorer people. In fact, not only
does a filthy-rich minority always hog most of the wealth, but the
mathematical form of the distribution is the same everywhere. . . .

Somebody documented this a hundred years ago.
Forget who.  My memory says Italian . . .
