Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present a few contemporary social theories concerning inequality against the background of Karl Marx theory. The author is interpreting work of the Dahrendorf, the Piketty, the Standing and the Stiglitz, showing their contribution to understanding our present time, as well as indicating their weak points. Moreover such authors are being mentioned as Therborn, Merrifield or Caparrós. The main question is: can we talk about the class global society? The author is answering that we are dealing today with next “primitive accumulation”, and we can expect the new class struggle in the future.
