SOCIAL INEQUALITY: RECENT TRENDS Author(s): Nadezhda Osipova ,Natalya Polyakova, Daria Dobrinskaya, Inna Vershinina, Tatiana Martynenko J. Ponte - May 2017 - Volume 73 - Issue 5 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2017.5.49 Abstract: The article analyses the main features of the social inequality in the modern world and their
reflection in contemporary sociological theories. It claims that globalization has led to a
fundamentally different kind of inequality. It has been proved that globalization causes
serious changes in social and political spheres, which directly even if to different extents
affect all humankind. Despite growing economic and cultural interdependence, the global
social order is ruptured by rising inequality. Authors consider various types of inequality in
the age of globalization. Their regional peculiarities are shown in the article. According to
numerous recent sociological works the perspective of neo-capitalism seems to be the most
adequate theoretical frame for studying globalized society and its inequality. Changing
nature of labor and social inequality is a basis of justification of such theories. The article
considers the main points of the “real utopias” concept developed by Wright as an
alternative to capitalist organization of the modern world. Finally it reviews two reports of
international organizations addressing issues of social inequality at a global scale. The
article provides main characteristics of the social inequality in Russia, determines the
peculiarities of inequality and data regarding involvement of the Russians into the global elite
and middle class.
