ma and others. Throughout this paper comparisons are made to the work of Ian Wright who describes simulated economic models in two notable papers [Wright 2005, 2009]. Wright's models are significantly different to my own, most notably in not involving a financial sector. Also, unlike the present pape

Schumpeter (1949, p. 155), discussing the Pareto law — via [Gabaix 2009] This paper introduces some mathematical and simulation models and supports these models with various theoretical ideas from economics, mathem

My own models include a financial sector which is clearly more realistic, as Wright acknowledges in the Social Architecture

(I am somewhat reluctant to criticise Gabaix, as he is one of the few economists who has recognised the importance of power-laws and other 'anomalous' invariants in economics. However his quote

ution becomes possible. Moving to a different issue, an element that is missing from this model, and indeed all my models, is that of unemployment. Wright's models are superior in this regard, and may shed light on this dynamic. Equation (4.7e), and a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, especially an offs

butions, and the split of the returns from labour and capital are all long-standing 'anomalies' within economics. Economists such as Schumpeter and Gabaix have noted these regularities [Gabaix 2009]. Why almost all other economists, even heterodox economists such as Gallegati et al, have shown such dis
