This paper develops a novel economic framework using Weyl geometry to explain the emergence and persistence of economic inequality and power laws. Agents’ “effective scale” on a Weyl manifold undergoes non-integrable, path-dependent transformations. The Weyl gauge field Aμ represents key economic influences like frictions, returns to scale, and market power. Its non-integrability drives disproportionate growth, naturally yielding fat-tailed distributions and structural economic stratification. This unified, geometric approach provides new insights into the underpinnings of persistent inequality.
