Abstract

The chapter is about social inequality in a theoretical discussion and empirically asking for the survival of “middle classes” in different European societies for the time period between 2003 and 2018. The argumentation is led by the thought about social stratification in combination with the political economy, asking for processes of “creative destruction” and the implications of digitalization and the evolution of stratified societies in Europe. The chapter starts with assumptions of growing inequality globally and turns the view to issues of individual nation-states. The enormous reception of Piketty’s works during the last 10 years has shown how strong the academic interest in social and economic inequality has become, which is a topic combining sociology and economics. The chapter will deal with the issue by trying to focus on the history of economic thought and the middle classes in particular.
