Rich get richer - and sustaining networks
There seems to be an unavoidable "network law", with the recent network research, that the "rich get richer". This occurs in "scale-free networks", Alfredo-Laszlo Barabasi discovery after crawling the Internet back in 1999.
See reference for my network and networking research and applied "lens", see

Relationships Matter, so do links, hubs and spokes.
I think this is essential to understand in order to sustain, and to have sustainable relationships, and also adding to the work of the good trust-flow of "goodwill networks". It takes deeper than deep approach, and I am awaiting to digest the newest book by Barabasi et al that just has been published.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale-free_network is a good entry to digest from the collection of links I have on my lens over at Squidoo mentioned.
Peace,
Anders

Actually in a transparent world, networks that operate around the rich get richer go bust at some future stage which can be modelled. The problem -of corruption or professionalised non-transparency which most MBAs have been trained to perpetrate however unconsciously- is that those at the rich epicentres can know when the bubble is going to burst it and short it. Remember dotcoms.
Nature's law of networking is exactly the opposite of the greedy gets greedier. Friends at the University of Bath have captured this on a movie that every teenager should see as far more chilling than The Omen. Put a few cells in ectoplasm (or whatever it is they eat). While the environment is plentiful - each cell may follow its own fitness or fatness plan. One of these grows to what looks like being all powerful but just as the space or nutrients run out, smaller cells collaborate. They each attack the large cell at two oppoiste but most extended parts of its form. And in a thrice it is no more. Anders as you read Ray Anderson, many other exciting patterns differentiating sustainability/biomass networks become evident - eg one system's waste output needs to be mapped as another's input
So hi-trust networking laws of exponential health * wealth * trust are the exact opposite of the rich gets richer unless they have earned this by always encuring first everyone else's rights to sustain progress. If you live in a place which is not transparent enough for this pattern rule to be evolving, then you all need to collaborate to wave change all around this (as indeed do social entrepreneurs who are setting about how to change the world interlocally - see the changemakers net). Otherwise the cooruption of networks will be the end of the sustainability of you and yours.
Networks are systems*systems*systems. And no living system can tolerate a cancerous cell of conflict spinning every cycle. Gandhi was the first leader to clarify the auditing triangle transparency and transformation agents need to futurise sustainable systems. And no lesser referee than Eistein confirms the Gandhi's maths of sustainability's exponentials. So as the world's globalisation's interacts every locality into its networks, this is all to do with our whitepapers started in 2004 in Delhi on the coming wars between goodwill and badwill networks
let's start an antidote network every month
