Economic rewards in the weightless economy are not closely tied to the inherent characteristics a producer or entrepreneur brings to the table. Instead, those rewards result from an interplay between individual producers and the market of consumers. In the weightless economy what the producer critically delivers is itself infinitely expansible. The upshot is the economics of superstars, where the top few supply the entire market, and are rewarded far beyond what would have been initially expected of them. But the picture is dynamic.
Superstar successes are in turn replaced, and easily.
Contrast superstars in the weightless economy with those in opera. In the latter the successes come endowed with natural talents at birth, and are not easily overtaken. In the former, economic rewards might be just as unequal as in opera, but mobility is high and nothing is allowed to stagnate. The poor can overtake the rich. All they need is the right bundle.
