Sumario:Society has come to assimilate the concepts of inequality and poverty as synonyms, which has influenced both political and economic thinking, the belief that the solution to eradicate poverty is to combat inequality. From this concept we analyze how inequality has been totally misunderstood by political philosophy and economic theory at the world level, by not knowing that its essence in itself is linked to human nature, which is why it is rather the inequality which can provide the environment conducive to the creation and discovery of opportunities for individual development of people and the economy as a whole. It seeks to bridge the inequality of the equivocal theories that relate it to poverty, such as those put forward by Piketty (2014). The present study aims to explain how inequality can lead us to demonstrate, which is rather the state interventionism in seeking equality at all costs, the true generator of poverty.
