http://www.globalideasbank.org/showidea.php?idea=2574 Wealth distribution is a law of nature submitted by: Institute for Social Inventions Summarised from an article by Mark Buchanan, entitled 'That's The Way Money Goes', in New Scientist (August 19th 2000; New Scientist subs #97 or $140, tel 44 [0] 1622 778000). Jean-Philippe Bouchaud and Marc Mezard, two French econophysicists, believe that wealth falling into the hands of a minority is not just a fact of life, but a law of nature. They have discovered a connection between the physics of materials and the movements of money, a link that could revolutionise the way we think about the distribution of wealth in society. It could also provide a mathematical basis to theories of free trade and competition.(cont at URL above) I hope they're close by to study the day my BUM went psycho.(Barter Units of Money.Im 9k an hour btw.)
