In general, authors talking about rent seeking have used transfers more or less interchangeably with monopolistic restrictions. To a large extent, both are the result of rent-seeking activity and normally involve very large inefficiencies. A few hackles might be raised, but it should be pointed out that most government transfers are not from the wealthy to the poor but from the poorly politically organized to the well politically organized.
