Summary/Abstract: Social inequalities, which have increased with the globalization process, show significant differences from previous periods. The deepening of inequalities, their self-producing nature and the expansion of their sphere of influence are at the forefront of these differences. This is one of the important reasons why social inequalities have become a subject of interest for many social scientists, especially sociologists. Bauman also included the subject of social inequality in his works. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the different aspects of Bauman's approach to social inequality. For this purpose, Bauman's works on the subject were examined and his views on social inequality were tried to be understood. At the end of the study, it was concluded that; Bauman based his views on social inequality on the criticism of neoliberalism, global forces eroded the social character of the state, politics and power were separated from each other and individuals became lonely.
