Globalization with offshore tax havens (some proper dodgy see that spiders web docu I mentioned) and inequal tax policies between countries (hello Ireland Netherlands Luxembourg and many others) leading to companies gaming taxation don't help.

It's interesting to note that inequality in wealth distribution does not necessarily arise just because powerful people decide to amass wealth.
It is an emergent property of taxation structures, that doesn't obey "common sense" rules or predictions.
If you are of a mathematical bent, this paper from the London Mathematical Laboratory is very interesting:
