The problem is not inequality, it is the system. The political and financial elite needs to accumulate all that money in their hands to reduce inflation. If they put all that money to circulate immediately the economy would collapse. They have a lot of money but they can't spend it, they simply accumulate it as a way to exert power over others, and to direct the whole system.

As long as the system remains broken, the richest will become richer simply by controlling state mechanisms, as they do, and the poor will be poorer. Economic crises can only increase this difference, unless there is a real change.
