We present an artificial social model of complex agent network, CASugarscape, to study the interaction between social network and social wealth. In the space of Sugarscape, agents survive by constantly looking for wealth within their own social circle taking their own field of vision as radius. However, agents survive by looking for wealth within the social network of friends who share wealth each other in the space of CASugarscape. In the proposed CASugarscape model, agents have different social radius based on social circle theory, which form acquaintance networks through social radius and build friendship networks through the rules of matching social wealth. Individual takes advantage of the distribution information of wealth, which comes from friend network, to look for wealth. The change of agents’ wealth distribution will affect their own acquaintance and friendship networks. Eventually it forms the social wealth and social network co-evolution mechanism. We analyze the impacts of different friend networks built through different rules of matching social wealth on social networks and social wealth distribution.
