Answer 1

The theorist who would most likely agree with the sentiment that the rich keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer is **Karl Marx**. Marx's analysis of class struggle and capitalism emphasizes the inequalities generated by the economic system, suggesting that the wealth of the bourgeoisie (the rich) grows at the expense of the proletariat (the poor).
