Where the words come from
Income as a flow and wealth as the value of assets minus debts; the retired person with little income and substantial wealth; differences in income accumulating into larger differences in wealth; the list of factor incomes and government transfers — Principles of Economics 2e, OpenStax, licensed CC BY 4.0. https://openstax.org/books/principles-economics-2e/pages/15-5-government-policies-to-reduce-income-inequality and https://openstax.org/books/principles-economics-2e/pages/19-1-measuring-the-size-of-the-economy-gross-domestic-product. Changes: The Clear It Up "How do you measure wealth versus income inequality?" (15.5) supplies the definitions, the retired person ("other than a pension or Social Security" cut to "other than a pension"; "the person's accumulated wealth" to "their wealth") and the recap's accumulation point; the five sources of income follow 19.1's "wages and salaries for labor, interest and dividends for capital, rent for land, profit to the entrepreneur" and 15.5's "government transfers"; the card definitions and examples, the young doctor, the flow-and-stock framing of the first explain and the recap wording are ours; British spelling.
The four components of household wealth and their shares, median household wealth, the shares held by the wealthiest 1% and least wealthy 50%, the Gini coefficients for household wealth and disposable income — Household total wealth in Great Britain: April 2020 to March 2022, Office for National Statistics (24 January 2025), Open Government Licence v3.0. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/incomeandwealth/bulletins/totalwealthingreatbritain/april2020tomarch2022. Changes: Figures as published; "%" written "per cent"; the Gini definition ("takes a value between 0 and 1, where 0 expresses no inequality and 1 expresses complete inequality") condensed; physical wealth glossed as cars and household contents from the bulletin's "vehicles, collectables, and household contents"; the second explain's opening sentence is 2e 15.5 ("differences in income can accumulate over time to make even larger differences in wealth"), reworded; fetched 29 September 2026, when the bulletin was the latest edition (next release to be announced).
