Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims to analyze some of the reasons why inequalities increase in the income allocation in modern developed societies. The conceptual framework used herein in order to understand the reasons for inequality raising is represented by the theoretical model known as “power re(sources) theory”, providing a basis for coherently understanding the current dissolution of the economic, political and blue collars negotiation power in developed economies, and in the same time for understanding an entire middle class in such societies, the main income of which consists in salaries.
