Description: "In the United States wealth is highly concentrated and very unequally distributed: the richest 1% hold one third of the total wealth in the economy.  Understanding the determinants of wealth inequality is a challenge for many economic models.  We summarize some key facts about the wealth distribution and what economic models have been able to explain so far"--Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago web site.
