The Relationship Between Income and Wealth
- vannevar 10y agoI'm assuming that 'income' here only refers to income from wages, rather than return on capital. Obviously, the latter would show a strong correlation with wealth.
- audleman 10y agoAnother possibility is that wealth comes through windfalls or inheritance.
- occamrazor 10y agoI guess this is why the relation is stronger in the upper right quadrant, where income from capital is significant.
