Abstract

This study reviews a century of structural transformation in distribution views from functional income distribution (between suppliers of inputs) to personal income distribution (between individuals and households). In this transformation some factors have facilitated the process and some factor have preventive role. Welfare governments needs, defects of functional distribution theory, improvement of hardware and software instruments in income and expenditure analysis, growth and inequality theory of Kuznets, individual choice theory of Friedman, human capital theory of Becker and justly distribution of Rawls are positive factors in this evolution and position of functional income distribution in neoclassical notion and Cambridge school and some ambiguity in how a fair distribution play a negative role in this circulation. Transformation of distributional theories in the ground of macroeconomic and microeconomic theories, is a important section of economic science improvement in the past century.
