Misery and social inequality
Social inequality is the division existing in society, based on the individual's social status. It is the result of the way people live within a nation. It is the division of individuals based on social classes, demonstrating the existing inequality between them, be it economic, professional or even in terms of opportunities.
The income disparity between individuals exists and has always existed in all societies. Excessive inequality is harmful when a significant portion of the population is deprived of basic living conditions, while a small elite lives in wealth. One can see the difference between people from different social classes, whether in the way they dress, live and even in the degree of influence of the individual within society. Social inequality becomes greater for individuals who live in extreme poverty, in begging.
Philosophy's Misery
Misery of Philosophy is a book written by the German philosopher Karl Marx, where he makes a critique of the work written by the French philosopher, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Systems of Economic Contradictions or Philosophy of Misery. In Marx's work, despite agreeing with Proudhon's ideas that applied economic policy led the worker to a situation of misery, disagreed with the economic principles described, especially in the direct relationship between work and wage.
