The research aimed to describe social inequality and analyze liberal, conservative and progressive perspectives on its nature. Liberals argue that inequality is the result of individual differences, conservatives believe it is a consequence of the social order, and progressives consider it a problem resulting from structural injustices. These views influence the public policies proposed by each group. Inequality is not just a social justice issue, it also affects economic growth and stability. Furthermore, regular research shows that inequality is present in all societies, regardless of their political orientations. Therefore, it suggests that public policies must be comprehensive, considering economic, social and political dimensions of inequality, adapted to the local context. We also emphasize that inequality is not just a social justice issue, but affects economic efficiency and development. The research concludes that reducing inequality requires sustained efforts on the part of governments, civil society and companies and contributes to the debate on more effective public policies in promoting equality.
