«Rike blir rikere og fattige blir fattigere»[1] er et slagord og aforisme som noen ganger utløses med variasjoner i ordlyden, når man diskuterer økonomisk ulikhet. Den mest vanlige bruken er som et sammendrag av en sosialistisk kritikk av det frie markedet (kapitalismen), samt den uunngåelige oppfattelsen man får av Karl Marx, loven om økende fattigdom.[2]

American Scientist. 90 (5): 400. doi:10.1511/2002.5.400. — Hayes analyzes several computer models of market economies, applying statistical mechanics to questions in economic theory in the same way that it is applied in computational fluid dynamics, concluding that "If some mechanism like that of the yard-sale model is truly at work, then markets might very well be free and fair, and the playing field perfectly level, and yet the outcome would almost surely be that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer."
