Essay / The Communist Manifesto - 1163
Material well-being is one of the criteria used to identify the social status of the individual in a society. Generally, material well-being depends on salary. Generally, the salary rate depends on the type of job the person would have. Therefore, as people perform different functions, this can lead to a wage gap and, consequently, social inequality in material well-being in society. The works of Karl Marx and Robert B. Reich cover the issue of financial inequality between poor and rich populations in a global context. The two authors described the current conditions of particular wealthy people differently and made different predictions regarding their future. From Marx's point of view, the richest in a society are the bourgeoisie, owners of the means of production and exploiting the labor of the proletariat. (Marx, p. 36, 59) According to Reich, the richest in society are the symbolic analysts, compared to the routine producers and in-person waiters. (Reich, p.1) In “The Communist Manifesto,” Marx asserted that the conditions of existence and prosperity of the bourgeoisie would ultimately be directed toward the destruction of the bourgeoisie as a class. (Marx, p. 34-35) These essential conditions create a set of destructive consequences for the bourgeoisie. Marx emphasized that property relations, expansion of production and trade brought about by the constant revolution of production, which are essential characteristics of bourgeois society, lead to unfavorable results for the bourgeoisie. (Marx, p. 33) In contrast, Reich asserts that symbolic analysts are in high demand in a world and that it is entirely possible that this trend will continue or that the rich will continue to get richer. (Reich, p. 28) This article will draw primarily on Marx's ideas about the specific conditions that contribute to the situation where...... middle of article ...... elements ultimately lead to the development of the proletariat. The proletariat is the weapon produced under these conditions against the bourgeoisie. (Marx, p. 33-35) Marx's entire work, the "Communist Manifesto", is fundamentally an ideology that condemns the entire society of bourgeois and the rich. Marx therefore places the richest people in the worst position in society, as the defeated class. In contrast, Reich did not view the poor and the rich as antagonistic classes, he simply examined their position and conditions in society separately. Thus, Reich argues that symbolic analysts or the richest people in society only get richer compared to routine workers and in-person waiters. (Reich, p.1, 28) The topics of both authors cover social inequalities in terms of wage gap in society and attempt to evaluate the conditions of each of the representatives of different strata of society..
