Summary/Abstract: Diminishing economic disparities of households is considered to be one of the biggest challenges in the twenty-first century. This article attempts to present the social consequences of asymmetric stratification of incomes. At the same time, it indicates the declining role of the state in influencing the economic sphere of the country in favour of the dominant forces of large international companies. The aim of the following article is an attempt to prove that business has a real driving force in reducing the prevalence of these disparities of incomes, if their strategy undertakes socially responsible activities.
