So as the consequences of being poor become more severe, people are more likely to hoard money? Describing this as rich people being less generous seems like a questionable interpretation.

OR, very high-disparity societies have such little social mobility that donations are seen as futile even if you'd be otherwise inclined. Regardless, generosity or the lack thereof, under the microscope, is just physics no matter what the explanation.
