Wealth inequality is just income inequality over a long run. Because of the high savings rate, the top percentiles accumulate wealth at a quicker pace than the lower percentiles.

Right, it's the difference between speed and acceleration. Replacing your car's speedometer with an accelerometer would lead to less informed decisions!

I think you have taken one too many derivatives. Income corresponds to the speedometer, and wealth to the odometer (or GPS coordinates).
