Preference for wealth drives capital accumulation and wealth distribution dynamics.
The article presents a model that looks at how people's desire for wealth affects capital accumulation and wealth distribution. It shows that those who have the most money are often driven by a love of wealth rather than a desire to help future generations. This can lead to different groups of people having different amounts of wealth. The study suggests that traditional economic models may not fully capture how wealth is accumulated and distributed in society. It also finds that things like public debt and estate taxes can impact the well-being of the wealthiest individuals.
