> wealth inequality is bad There’s an interesting economic science paper from awhile ago where the researchers examined an economic simulation as wealth inequality increased, and their finding was that it’s like temperature in that it causes phase transitions. At some level of wealth inequality, agents stopped being able to trade (most agents didn’t have the funds to trade most goods), causing a “freeze” - going from liquid(ity) to solid.
