Economic inequality profoundly impacts political power dynamics, creating disparities in influence and access to resources. Individuals or groups with greater wealth often have more leverage over political processes, including lobbying, campaign contributions, and media influence, thus skewing representation towards their interests. This concentration of economic power can result in policies favoring the wealthy, further entrenching inequalities. Moreover, when marginalized citizens perceive their voices as being diminished, political alienation may ensue, leading to decreased civic engagement. Addressing economic inequality is crucial for fostering a more equitable and representative political system.
