The influence of inequality on economic growth is the subject of heated interest of economists from several years. It is symptomatic, and surprising in the light of traditional standpoint of economics, that majority of empirical research point to positive dependence between equality and growth. The analysis of findings of this research suggests that equality affects growth through: improved allocation of economic resources, that enhance the possibility of poor to educate and increase the human capital; reduction of economic fluctuation; political stability; and strengthening the social capital.
