The research did not find anything since it analyses the answers to the questions about wealth poverty and welfare.

The theories looked at by the article are mostly the new right and  the social democratic perspective

This study suggested that wealth inequalities can happen in a number of different ways, for example some members of society may have a higher income than others but then others may save their wealth through investing for example in a proprathererty  than spending it meaning the are wealthy but not through income. This suggests that wealth isn't about your income.

The commission also found a clear link between wealth and age. People aged 55-64 have the highest level of wealth and in the highest classes. However they also found inequality with this age group, finding the poorest tenth having less than £28,000 of wealth and in the lower classes.

Gordon asked her questions about her research and what she think about the statistics, for example he asked her "does that mean that things become necessities at different times" and found that in 1983 only 41% thought that a telephone was a necessity as if now 72% of people think that it is a necessity.

This does not look at studies and theories but only statistics

These forms of wealth are:
- Property wealth
- Physical wealth 
- Financial wealth 
- Privet pension wealth.

This makes it less about the talent of people and their jobs but rather the social class and economic status of parents and family members which makes the inequalities harder to change.
