wanted to come back to Pareto anyhow... I accept the objective reality of wealth distribution. But it's not God-given it's not some eternal law (not to talk about E being between 2 and 3, druther have 2 to be honest;). It's moreover a source of dialectics of social unrest, changes and clashes, "what goes up, must come down, spinning wheel..." - gosh, I even remember Blood Sweat and Tears' lyrics.

btw, having a mathematical model for these inequalities, dumbs the moral disquiet over the greed, hunger and wrongs. It soothes by saying:"It's everywhere like this, it always has been like this". Still, somebody said we were all born equal, they say, even if some among us did not have the silver spoon stuck in somewhere.

btw (again), there's people of means who give. The campuses and hospitals all across the world are full of buildings with plaques...
