As in the case of income distribution, calculation of wealth distribution is done by different entities using different measurements, resulting in a disparity in outcomes. In fact, commonly, wealthis narrowly defined as financial wealth—namely, cash on handand the money value of tangible and nonliquid assets. Even justthe market valuation of financial portfolios is commonly used todefine financial wealth. However, some may extend the definitionto include the value of income streams and insurance rights that,for the most part, cannot be transacted or encumbered. Theseinclude Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. When suchtransfers and public assistance are included, the poor and manyelderly could benefit, reducing the wealth disparity (Galbraith2016). To obtain net wealth, the value of the debts are subtractedsubtracted from the value of the assets. Galbraith stated thatfinancial wealth…
