Wealth hoarding ethics

Wealth hoarding—accumulating beyond use or reinvestment—creates ethical friction because it simultaneously claims the right to exclude others from survival resources while relying on those same people's continued cooperation and labor. The ethical challenge isn't redistribution theory but whether the hoarded wealth's marginal utility to the holder (the difference between contentment and slightly greater contentment) justifies its denial to someone facing actual deprivation.
