...In sociology, the Matthew effect (or accumulated advantage) is the phenomenon where
" the rich get richer and the poor get poorer "
...In both its original and typical usage it is meant metaphorically to refer
to issues of fame or status, but it may also be used literally
to refer to cumulative advantage of economic capital.
The term was first coined by sociologist Robert K. Merton in 1968
and takes its name from the parable of the talents in the biblical Gospel of Matthew...
