Actually, economists are now saying that the 20th century was an anomaly in terms of QoL and we're reverting back to U shaped distribution of wealth.

It will be very interesting times when all that 20th century earned Baby Boomer wealth moves to the next generation and accelerates the shift even faster.




Do you mean U-shaped on a wealth vs. age graph, or something else? I would imagine wealth distribution to look more like an exponential distribution.


What does "U-shaped" mean or imply? I searched, but am still unclear.

Will the distribution be more even or more uneven?


Frequency distribution I think - normal, not uniform.
