The inequality between the world's individuals is staggering.

My Scottish Labour Party is a crusade - to fight poverty, inequality and injustice.
Johann Lamont

Capitalism cannot be reduced to one or a few features, but it does possess one relationship, central to its existence and operation, that constitutes the essence of inequality and ineradicable instability: the wage-labor-capital connection that dwells at the heart of the system.
Herbert Schiller

The United States in many ways resembles a Third World country - far more elevated, but it has many of those structural characteristics: the extreme inequality of wealth, the deterioration of infrastructure because it only serves poor people, predatory operations, huge corruption, and so on.
Noam Chomsky

In life you may be poor or rich, but death is the great equalizer. The greatest communism is in death. Howsoever you live, it makes no difference death happens equally. In life, equality is impossible in death, inequality is impossible. Become aware of it, contemplate it.
Rajneesh

Wealth inequality has increased.
Cornel West
Image
Nothing would more quickly and definitively reduce U.S. income inequality than allowing every worker in all businesses to participate in deciding the range of incomes from one worker to another. They would never do what is now a matter of normality: give one person millions, in some cases billions, while others have barely enough to make a living.
Richard D. Wolff

I think gender inequality is a problem that goes back a long, long time. In human society, as a whole, women have tended to have a kind of inferior position - very often combined with playing up women as great role [models].
Amartya Sen

Political men, like goats, usually thrive best among inequalities.
Walter Savage Landor
Image
I was at the World Bank and a commission reviewed our work on inequality for the U.S. Congress or somebody, and the head of the commission said to us: You are spending taxpayer money to study issues like inequality? Which goes directly against capitalism and growth. That was the perception, that it should not be studied.
Branko Milanovic

Kate O'Regan

There are some people who say that they’re concerned only with poverty but not inequality. But I don’t think that is a sustainable thought. A lot of poverty is, in fact, inequality because of the connection between income and capability—having adequate resources to take part in the life of the community.
Amartya Sen
Image
Unfortunately, violence against women is not the only injustice women face globally it is one of the many inequalities that impede the full development of socially excluded women globally.
Zainab Salbi
Image
Increasing inequality in income distribution in this country has broader policy implications, and there is also the growing problem of perverse incentives that result from executives receiving grossly disproportionate compensation based on decisions they themselves take.
Barney Frank
Image
In a culture that gives men irresponsible power and women powerless responsibility, the advancement of civilization cannot be a serious goal.
Mary Blakely

The days of humiliation, of second-class citizens and of inequality are over and gone forever.
