摘要

本文利用从公元前 330 年的希腊到 1940 年的墨西哥的 53 张社会表格，估算了工业化前社会中收入最高的 1 % 人口所占的比例和收入水平。收入最高的 1%占社会收入的比例从 10%左右到 40%以上不等，而且并不总是与估计的基尼系数和不平等提取率同步变动。我根据与顶级阶层相关的社会阶层和资产类型（土地、政府控制权、商业资本、公民权）以及与贫困相关的资产缺乏情况，对前工业社会进行了分类。

How rich were the rich? An empirically-based taxonomy of pre-industrial bases of wealth

The paper uses fifty-three social tables, ranging from Greece in 330 BCE to Mexico in 1940 to estimate the share and level of income of the top 1 % in pre-industrial societies. The share of the top 1 % covers a vast range from around 10 % to more than 40 % of society's income and does not always move together with the estimated Gini coefficient and the Inequality Extraction Ratio. I provide a taxonomy of pre-industrial societies based on the social class and type of assets (land, control of government, merchant capital, citizenship) that are associated with the top classes as well as lack of assets associated with poverty.
