The Distribution of Wealth

“There's an old quote I love: I always skate where the puck will be, not where it's been".

What I have just mentioned is a quote pronounced at the annual Flint Center Apple products show by the great genius Steve Jobs. For those who do not know him, but I think very few, is the man (or rather was, because unfortunately he disappeared a few years ago) who invented the computer as we know it today, easy to use for anyone, even those who have never had anything to do with electronics and technology, even for children, and in fact it is simple and fun. So, Jobs has created a computer with all those colors, images, easy to use; but not enough, he then invented the smart phone, the iPhone, the phone that surfs the Internet, processes data ... so definitely a great genius and this is also clear in his famous sentences.

Only by understanding the things we can make conscious political choices and not the choices that are "suggested" by others. We shall learn then, in this little treatise, to understand how a nation's wealth is distributed and why there is a certain distribution. Then we'll see how the governments, politicians, manage to change this distribution of wealth in favor of the one side or the other of the population: we shall see, so, the political-economic theories (and we shall understand what for example Mr. Monti or Mr. Einaudi in Italy, or Mrs Tatcher in UK, or Mr. Obama in the United States etc., really did).

So let's see first how the wealth in a nation is distributed, and why some people have a certai [...]
