    "abstract": "It is known that asset exchange models with symmetric interaction between\nagents show either a Gibbs/log-normal distribution of assets among the agents\nor condensation of the entire wealth in the hands of a single agent, depending\nupon the rules of exchange. Here we explore the effects of introducing\nasymmetry in the interaction between agents with different amounts of wealth\n(i.e., the rich behave differently from the poor). This can be implemented in\nseveral ways: e.g., (1) in the net amount of wealth that is transferred from\none agent to another during an exchange interaction, or (2) the probability of\ngaining vs. losing a net amount of wealth from an exchange interaction. We\npropose that, in general, the introduction of asymmetry leads to Pareto-like\npower law distribution of wealth.",
