i am not sure that it makes much sense to think about redistribution of wealth inductively, from particulars to the general. you have to go the other way around, from some conception of the social system, its economic components, the interactions between them and what distributions of wealth/allocations of resources best enable that system to be coherent, more or less just, more or less able to provide something beyond libertarian barbarism for its inhabitants.
