Description: An exploration of one of the hottest problems of our time: inequality of income distribution and the gap between riches and poverty. The book revises existing concepts and ideas regarding these issues, presents an updated theory of production factors, identifies the key underlying cause of the growing gap between super wealth and poverty, and develops a more accurate understanding of current processes of contemporary reality.  The research covers a whole range of core fundamental issues of social development, such as: production factors and distribution of material and nonmaterial values; human needs and opportunities to satisfy them; causes of social inequality; citizens' rights and freedoms, etc. It gives an integral analysis of the phenomena demonstrating that poverty is not a marginal, separate, or isolated issue, but is closely linked to many other societal problems and is an important component of a whole tangle of problems.
