Super Inequality: A General Theory of Mass Poverty

Abstract

This study has set its goal to connect the dots and to build a unified general theory of inequality, which is capable of explaining the aggregate forces of historical, local, communal, national, and international systemic oppression and mass poverty at the same time. The super-super rich and super powerful are to blame and be held accountable for inequality, as they are the ones that have not only built the systems and forces that created inequality on an historical, intergenerational, and global scale but are also the ones maintaining those very systems and forces that create and worsen inequality and hence mass poverty on an appalling scale. The newly created theory of super inequality is aimed to gather and strengthen forces of science—and particularly, but not only, social policy—to be able, down the road, to tackle the perhaps greatest social problem of our time: inequality.
