sure, but does government prevent wealth inequality, or maybe the very cause of it?

(research hint: inflation, and that millennia old quote/insight: the more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the government...)

Neither. Government is just the system through which policy that either greatness or lessens inequality is implemented. For example, government can decrease an inheritance tax, therefore increasing inequality, or they can do the opposite to reverse it.
