Abstract
We work in this article from different theoretical perspectives for kn owing how the economic concept of inequality in the social organizatio n of the states, get in the notions which are used by the human being. The following question is basic: How the children, adolescents and th e adults organise and understand the economic inequalities of the coun tries/states? We made psychogenetic interviews with spanish sujects (b etween 6 and 50 years of age) to study the interpetations that they ha ve in the different ages and social class, about the wealth and povert y in the countries, the economic differences and the possibilities for the change of situation. The results found out, permit us to open a b ig discussion about the diversity of explanations that the sujects gav e in the different themes.
