The article examines the relationship between democratic systems and economic inequality, exploring how political regimes affect income distribution and how inequality can undermine processes in democracies. The paper uses theoretical approaches based on the works of D. Acemoglu, J.A. Robinson and T. Piketty, as well as analyzes the Democracy Index and the Gini Coefficient to study the impact of political systems on the economic stratification of society. The study is especially relevant in the context of global growth of inequality and its impact on political stability. Understanding these processes is important for researchers, practitioners, and specialists in politics and economics. The possibilities of reducing inequality through the strengthening of democratic institutions and the introduction of fiscal measures to regulate capitalism are considered. Special attention is paid to the impact of digital technologies on social stratification. Democracy helps to reduce economic inequality, but it does not always successfully cope with its growth. The freedom to accumulate resources can increase stratification, which threatens the political equality and stability of democracies, which highlights the need for a strategy to address economic and political imbalances.
