There are different views on Professor Wen Tiejun's views on the division between the rich and the poor

Professor Wen Tiejun said: The root cause of the global gap between the rich and the poor is the result of the operation of financial capital.

I think this view is close to the truth, but it has not yet gone to the root, not to the point.

In fact, the real root cause of the gap between the rich and the poor is that capital participates in the distribution.

What was originally distributed according to work has now become a distribution according to capital contribution, that is, distribution according to money. Rich people are very powerful in distribution, and with the accumulation and expansion of capital, they can divide the money exponentially while sitting, and the more they take, the more they take.

A financial oligarch sitting on a huge amount of money, by virtue of the power of capital, earns N times faster than ordinary workers who rely on manual technology, and N tends to be infinite.

It is capital's ability to participate in distribution that gives rise to the speculative financial capital operations of the oligarchs. If private capital cannot participate in the distribution, is there anyone else who can operate?

After capital participates in the distribution, industriousness and wisdom become more and more humble, but instead become the workers and appendages of capital, and everything revolves around capital.

By now, it is no longer capital that participates in the distribution, but that capital determines the distribution.

In this state, the differentiation is irreversible and intensifies.
