This paper introduces a money-based model for the power law distribution of wealth in an economically interacting population. The model focuses on capital movements and extends the Equíluz and Zimmermann's model for financial markets. It provides a Zipf distribution of wealth over a wide range of parameters without exponential correction. The paper includes analytical calculations of the Zipf exponent and discusses the model's relevance to real-world economic environments.
