This really shouldn’t be surprising to anyone (at least the headline shouldn’t be, perhaps the stuff about the market acting like a physical system is). Basically, if people can do what they want with their money, they use it in ways that increase disparity, as opposed to decreasing disparity by, say, giving all their money away.
