The distribution of wealth is a comparison of the wealth of various members or groups in a society. It differs from the income distribution in that it looks at the distribution of ownership of the assets in a society, rather than the current income of members of that society. ==Definition of wealth== (詳細はwealth = assets − liabilities The word "wealth" is often confused with "income". These two terms describe different but related things. Wealth consists of those items of economic value that an individual owns, while income is an ''inflow'' of items of economic value. (See Stock and flow.) The relation between wealth, income, and expenses is: :change of wealth = income − expense. The distribution of income is substantially different from the distribution of wealth. According to the International Association for Research in Income and Wealth, "the world distribution of wealth is much more unequal than that of income."〔http://www.iariw.org/abstracts/2006/daviesa.pdf〕 If an individual has a large income but also large expenses, her or his wealth could be small or even negative. The United Nations definition of ''inclusive wealth'' is a monetary measure which includes the sum of natural, human and physical assets. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「distribution of wealth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
