The presented project aims to sociological research of processes of social structure reproduction at Russian society, of a role of the relations of property, of policy of distributing the property rights and the incomes, and also of opportunities in designing the system of decision-making to overcome social inequality in Russia. It is important to approach the property as capital, conceptually proposed my Ricardo and Marx, and then by Commons. It allows considering the income from property as a special form of social relations, followed by reproduction of a social and economic inequality. On other pole it is resisted by the income from wage labor. Therefore the chain “property-work” reveals in the form of capitalist alienation. Functioning of income from property as capital occurs under conditions of political system which is purposefully designing the relations of an inequality of the income of citizens. Therefore, as the only way of resisting the tendency of growing inequality serves the political practice considering importance of removal the contradiction between the income from property and the income from wage labor. At the same time, the property as the capital can take various forms that influence modes of organizing political system of maintaining certain property relations. It is defined by a place of concrete economy in system of the international division of labor. Theoretical relevance of the project consists of improving sociology of property and distribution in the context of the reproduction and relational methodologies; practical relevance of the project consists in finding of ways of designing the politics of property for overcoming social and economic inequality in Russian society.
