This issue is dedicated to reviewing the concept of inequality. It seems important to us to propose a pause to think critically about how researchers interested in this topic construct the argument of inequality not only as a social problem, but as a sociological problem, that is, not only as a failure in the distribution of resources, but as the functional result of social arrangements sustained by asymmetrical power relations, both at the structural level and at the level of social interactions. The published articles show a critical vision of studies of inequalities from the social sciences and, in particular, from sociology.
