Abstract

For Piketty finally, we have the political proposal of inclusive liberalism on the field to counter the enormous inequalities caused by the unbridled neoliberalism that characterizes the globalized world of our days. The current of liberal thought defined as embedded liberalism, which is opposed to uncostrained liberalism unfettered. We have to understand if inclusive liberalism accepts the classic policies of European social democracies, without which true social inclusion is difficult. As long as there are no serious proposals for a redistributive policy of wealth, on social justice, the parties of the traditional left will lose support. The challenge represented by the social question inequality evidently implies the totality of social life.
