Class formation in a social network with asset exchange

We study two kinds of economic exchanges, additive and multiplicative, in a system of N agents. The work is divided into two parts. In the first one, the agents are free to interact with each other. The system evolves to a Boltzmann–Gibbs distribution with additive exchange and condenses with a multiplicative one. If bankruptcy is introduced, both types of exchange lead to condensation. Condensation times have been studied. In the second part, the agents are placed in a social network. We analyze the behavior of wealth distributions in time, and the formation of economic classes is observed for certain values of network connectivity.
