Extremes of wealth and poverty impede the success of democracy to a very great extent. According to many scholars, political equality is impossible in the absence of economic equality. In the opinion of Karl Marx, state is not a neutral agency.
It favors those who are economically dominant in a particular society. Experience has shown that whatever may be the actual form of government, political power tends to gravitate towards those who wield economic power. This is, indeed, the greatest threat to the success of political democracy. In a class-divided society, the rich will always have an upper hand and the poor will always suffer.
It, therefore, demands a re-adjustment of economic relations in such a way that as vast differences of wealth may disappear and every citizen be provided with the material means of a decent existence and adequate leisure for public affairs.
