Then why keep all this money in the hand of unhappy people (who mostly hoard it)? Does unhappiness help with capital allocation? Could concentrating wealth in the hands of a few cause unhappiness and trouble both their owner nor the rest of society (who would do better if they had more control)?

I didn't say all rich people are unhappy, I said not all poor people are unhappy and not all rich people are happy.

"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." (Lev Tolstoi; 'Anna Karenina')

('Все счастливые семьи похожи друг на друга, каждая несчастливая семья несчастлива по-своему.'), for the purists.)

That is an opaque point and adds nothing to our discussion.
