Abstract
The article criticizes the position of neoliberal ideology, according to which every person in a market society has an equal chance of success. Various factors neutralizing the validity of this thesis are considered. Depending on the economic, social and cultural capital of the family, a person has chances for vertical mobility. The thesis of equality of chances seems to be a mythologeme, specially constructed and replicated for political purposes. It is proved that inequality is an integral aspect of the neoliberal order. We are talking about inequality both at the microsocial level and at the international level. Free competition is presented as an unattainable ideal.
