  Abstract:  If we look back in history it seems that the problem of inequality has never been an issue that needed to be discussed openly by the large masses. This discussion was exclusively reserved for intellectuals. Nowadays the situation has changed drastically, and the topic of inequality became a hot issue and has spread throughout the Globe. It is a sensitive problem of our contemporary world and the discussions that emerged over the last years in every society are similar to the impact had on the academic debate of Karl Marx’s position on inequality. Following the Arab spring, we witnessed a new wave of discontent that aroused the youth. The topic of inequality became an issue of awareness for social activism in the developed countries. The recent economic crisis had an important role in the waves of protest that emerged in the last 2-3 years.
