*Resumen **/ Abstract:*
La falta de consenso existente en torno a la desigualdad contrasta con el
aparente consenso construido alrededor de la necesidad de eliminar la
pobreza. Se estudia la desigualdad por una diversidad de razones: para
identificar sus fuentes, sus consecuencias, el grado en el que la
desigualdad es deseable, los vínculos dinámicos entre desigualdad y
pobreza, o tratando de discernir las grandes fuerzas estructurales que la
impulsan. Sin embargo, se presta poca atención a la objeción principal ante
la desigualdad. La mayoría de las explicaciones económicas son opacas, y
con frecuencia comparten supuestos muy distintos a los que plantean los
sociólogos. En este artículo se sostiene que debemos considerar la amplia
gama de diferencias existente entre las explicaciones, pero es importante
identificar los distintos fundamentos que tratan la problemática de manera
más directa. El trabajo explora cuatro categorías: los argumentos
económicos, las explicaciones sobre la pobreza dinámica y el desarrollo
humano, las teorías sobre el contrato social y la justicia social y, por
último, aquellas que tratan sobre integridad social. Entre ellas, se
sostiene que resultan más satisfactorias aquellas explicaciones con base en
la integridad social ya que éstas tienden
a demostrar, con mayor lógica elemental, cómo la desigualdad grave puede
socavar la agencia social integral, así como a un cuerpo político coherente
tan necesario para el progreso social y la plena vigencia de los derechos
de las y los ciudadanos.
*The lack of consensus over inequality contrasts with the obvious agreement
regarding the need to eradicate poverty. Inequality is studied for a number
of reasons: to identify its sources, its consequences, to what extent it
may be desirable, the dynamic links between inequality and poverty, or to
try to discern the major structural forces underlying it. Little attention
has been given though to the main objection as regards inequality. Economic
accounts are for the most part obscure and their assumptions are often very
different from those of sociologists. This paper argues that while the many
differences among different accounts must be considered, it is also
important to identify the various approaches tackling this issue in a more
direct way. This work explores four categories: the economic arguments, the
accounts on dynamic poverty and human development, the theories on social
contract and social justice, and finally, those focused on social
integrity. It is argued that approaches based on social integrity are more
conclusive as they tend to demonstrate, with a more basic logic, in what
way serious inequality may undermine both the whole social agenda and a
coherent political body which is so necessary for social progress and a
thorough enforcement of citizens’ rights.*
