Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the negative consequences of (excessively) large income inequality and examines their direct and indirect impact on Bulgaria's national security. According to the author, income inequality can lead to economic and political instability, social tensions, unemployment, increase in crime and other destructive processes for society. Some measures are being discussed to reduce the problem of high inequality, such as changing the tax system, which unfortunately are met with tremendous resistance from the high earners and their lobbyists.
