Interesting point. The initial distribution is the natural flow of money through the marketplace. The redistribution is the corrected flow.

Of course, the whole concept of “corrected flow” is absolutely destructive of freedom and prosperity... but that is probably where the term comes from.

The concept of "corrected" assumes that someone knows all of economics, that he can correct for inequities, inefficiencies or unfairness in the system without ill consequences. That person of course doesn't exist. Nobody can perfectly grasp a system so vast and complex.

But we have people who still think they do know it all. Even worse than them not knowing all, they get to define "equitable," "efficient," "fair" and "ill" according to their own philosophy, pretty much guaranteeing a screwed-up result every time large-scale meddling is done.
