Abstract :
To understand inequality, it is necessary to evaluate the theoretical foundation of school in which, inequality is defined before evaluating by various indicators. Market-oriented and societal approaches each one somehow, explain the inequality and its causes. First group considers it inevitable and is considered as a component of economic growth, and second group considers it as the result of policy-making by state. This paper tries to provide a model for analyzing the configuration of inequality in countries with a "limited access order" economic system, using the concepts extracted from the theoretical foundations in the of the new institutional economy as an interdisciplinary approach. This model demonstrates that unofficial economic institutions, along with legal economic institutions that seek to redistribute resources, illegally accumulate wealth in Political and economic elite and are used as a tool by informal political institutions to distribute loyalty rents to the masses. The total of these factors leads to a configuration of inequality in which, inequality itself too, affects the formation and durability of Unevenness institutions and this cycle is constantly repeated. The methodology of research is qualitative and the extraction of concepts is from the theories that have the same ontological, epistemological, anthropological, and methodological foundations.
