Income Distribution Gap the Global Fiscal Crisis
The global fiscal crisis will be borne by the millions of people who do not have a share in the benefits that were derived from the global economic expansions that occurred previously. Not only has the gap widened between low wage earners and high wage earners in nations across the globe, the world's income gap distribution has widened. Economists have long concluded that a limited degree of income inequality contributes to worker motivation, promotes innovation, and rewards talent and effort. Nevertheless, when income differences become too great, the dynamics become counter-productive. Runaway income inequality is considered to be a destructive force, such that "rising income inequality represents a danger to the social fabric" ("Board of Canada," 2012). The repercussions from excessive income inequalities include children not attending school so they can contribute to household earnings by going to work, increased crime rates, lower life-expectancies, and malnutrition.
Marxism, Class Conflict, and the Road to a Classless Society
Individuals supporting the idea of Marxism are concerned about implementing a system involving class conflict and the idea of reform based on social relations in order for the general public to be able live on the work it is responsible for rather than exploiting others. Marxism generally focuses on economic organization and supports the idea that capitalism persecutes proletarians and that this form of oppression is eventually likely to lead to revolution. The fact that most of the population produces goods and services while a small community of bourgeois individuals control society makes it difficult for working class individuals to accept their role, taking into account that need to spend most of their lives serving others.
