WHY PARETO WAS CROWNED KING

Managers are busy people. You are a busy person. Any theory that saves you time and helps you identify and access key information quickly has to have a value beyond rubies.

It’s also a theory that can be used in a wide range of situations.

This means that about 0.000001% of the American population owns 12.5% of the wealth generated in America in one year. Based on that figure it’s pretty certain that at least 80% of all wealth in the USA is owned by 20% of the population.
