The present article aims at proposing a reflection about poverty and social inequality in Brazil as an expression of the social matter, understanding it as a result of the inconsistency between money and work. It brings analysis about territory as one of the structuring axis of public policies in welfare when the vulnerability situations and/or social risk that affect families and individuals is considered, specially in Brazilian cities. The territory is considered as space of identity creation, cultures and relations of power in a multidimensional comprehension, made by economic, political and cultural forces. This article is a bibliographic study about the mentioned categories, considered to be multifaceted and inconsistent, that were constructed by means of readings and critical analysis while understanding the reality.
