Episode 08: The rich are different because they have more money

Summary:

We construct and develop the analysis for Herbert Simon's 1955 Rich-get-Richer model for producing power-law size distributions. You get to work on the fun inside parts. We tour the history of Zipf's law starting in the early 1900s, and follow the evolution of framings and catchprhases.
