Thanks for the link.

Has it been your experience that the Pareto distribution of wealth tends to hold over time regardless of economic policy? If so it seems strange that nobody defending the free market has ever used it as a defence because it seems to indicate that inequality is the norm even if the composition of 20% or the 80 % can change. Have I understood this correct or does this have do with the methodology?
