In mainstream economics, "distribution" is one of the issues which is ignored because of being unresolved, and a new issue is propounded. First, the "functional distribution of income" was proposed, which is based on the determination of the share of production factors (at the micro level). Then, due to lack of proper response, from the early twentieth century, ideas changed to explain the new concept of "personal distribution of income" which is based on the income allocation among the households and individuals (at the macro level). In fact, the important question around the functional distribution of income which we are seeking to answer is "Who is the owner of the surplus value or the profit (positive and negative) in the production?". Shahid Sadr properly understood the importance of income and wealth distribution in leading the Islamic society towards its goals of justice. In his “Eghtesadona” book, he has extracted the system of "functional distribution of income," and the correct answer to this issue, in addition to the "personal distribution of income" based on the teachings of Islam. In this distributional system, interactions are not homogeneous and the basis for the share of factors of production is contracts and rules, which depends on real conditions of the economy. In this paper, the "distribution" issue in conventional economics is compared with the concepts developed by Shahid Sadr, using the comparative and library methods.

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.
