Social inequality is growing because people believe in its validity. Moreover, they nourish the machine his humiliation unexplained, but persistent prejudice that "man is a wolf", "trans-national corporations care about the people," "capitalism - is the only fair system of social order," and "neoliberal globalization is beneficial especially the common man. "
On strengthening the inequalities
Yet today the facts are such that 1% of the population has 46% of the wealth and resources, 10% dominate over 86% of the world's resources, and 50% do not have anything at all. We have a situation that can be described as an oligarchy. And the middle class (40% of the population), concentrated in the West, divided among themselves 14% of the wealth. But the level of his life falls.

On the destruction of the Western middle class
Branko Milanovic, former director of the World Bank's research center in his new book "Global Inequality: A New Approach to the era of globalization" describes the Western middle class, as being in the grip of double jeopardy. On the one hand, it is a competition with developing countries, mainly Asian. On the other - endless revenue growth of one percent of the richest people in the world.

Developing countries offer doing the same work for the western grain costs. Even Germany, an outpost of the economic policy of the EU, confronted with the same problem and was forced to carry out reforms, reducing social protection and, in fact, everywhere to lower wages.

The Economist argues that globalization is precisely due to the destruction of the Western middle class. But it is the level of his life is the motivation for ordinary people who believe "in the rich western future with clean toilets."

Historically, the middle class - the class-gasket between the classical bourgeoisie and the exploited workers - was created, on the one hand, to corrupt the proletariat. Everyone in it belongs to acquire TV and trying to distance itself from its membership of a simple worker.

On the other hand, it is within this class was to form the core of a lifestyle in a consumer society which should be ideal for mass production. This core will remain, although it will be much less, and its essence will become more izvraschencheskoy (overfed nerves require large doses). All other parts of the middle class will move into the category of the poor in a globalized world.

Milanovic said that inequality is progressing because people are not aware of the report in its enormity. And this, in turn, holds only now that the "democratic society works as an exhaust pipe, which overlook the citizens of discontent." As well as because no ideology other than capitalism.

About the habit of voluntary slavery
Zygmunt Bauman in his pamphlet "There is little if wealth for the benefit of all the others?" Says that "today, worsening inequality is caused by his own logic and momentum. He did not need any assistance, incentives or shocks from outside. It seems that social inequality today as never before, approached to to become the first in the history of perpetual motion. "
If 100 years ago, the workers, seeing the blatant exploitation, lifted the strike and staged the revolution, today we accept it with joy and gratitude.
The reasons for such complaisance were considered already in the Renaissance. Philosopher Etien da le Boesi says those responsible, that to people "allowed themselves to enslave, you need one of two things: either they must be forced to do so, or they should be deceived."

and further: "... public games, performances, farces, spectacles, gladiators, unseen animals, medals, paintings and the like folly - these were among the ancient peoples of the lure of slavery, the price of their freedom and the weapons of tyranny. <...>
Thus, people, bewildered by these games, cheer empty amusements, arranged in front of their eyes, accustomed to slavery as innocently - but only with much worse consequences! - As small children who are learned only to read in order to know the content of brightly colored pictures in books "
Deceived handouts, beads and promises. Education, which kills the system, but generates klipovoy thinking. "Cultural elite", which mocks the people rather than contribute to its development and prosperity.
conclusion
West destroys its middle class is not to enrich other nations. Neoliberal globalization should be once and for all to establish such inequality from which humanity will never get out.
