  An array system of coupled maps is proposed as a model for economy evolution.
The local dynamics of each map or agent is controlled by two parameters. One of
them represents the growth capacity of the agent and the other one is a control
term representing the local environmental pressure which avoids an exponential
growth. The asymptotic state of the system evolution displays a complex
behavior. The distribution of the maps values in this final regime is of power
law type. In the model, inequality emerges as a result of the dynamical
processes taking place in the microscopic scales.
