РАСПОЛАГАЊЕ ПОЛИТИЧКИМ КАПИТАЛОМ (МОЋИ МОБИЛИЗАЦИЈЕ И ИНТЕРПРЕТАЦИЈЕ) И РАСТ НЕЈЕДНАКОСТИ
DISPOSING OF POLITICAL CAPITAL (THE POWER OF MOBILISATION AND INTERPRETATION) AND GROWING INEQUALITY

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, from the point of dominantly politicological analysis, I will try to argue the thesis that growing inequalities and declining political capital of citizens move according to the mutually interrelated logic of inverse proportion. Economic development and social distribution of its effects are not value- and politically neutral, while change of the predominant ideological paradigm changes the set of implemented economic and social instruments. Consequently, it is possible to empirically prove the thesis that declining influence and power of employees and trade unions goes hand in hand with growing inequalities, caused by the increasing power of political actors and interprets of the thesis of market as panacea. To provide arguments for the thesis that in a globalised space the monopoly over power of persuasion and mobilization increases inequalities, I will attempt to use the example of Serbia, which I see as a general pattern in the past half a century. It is, for example, visible not only in economic and political dimensions, but could also be detected in educational dimension, through changes in dominant paradigms in social sciences, as well as through the public media.
