Abstract: In recent decades, the deep interconnection between capitalism, digital media, and digital infrastructures has become increasingly evident. The capitalist utilization of digital media and technology brings profound social and socio-ecological impacts worldwide, including the worsening of social inequalities. Inclusion, understood as a guiding principle of social transformation, aims to address and reduce both social and digital inequalities. This approach demands ongoing reflection on the processes of social transformation in societies shaped by capitalist economies, particularly in educational settings. This article explores the links between capitalism in the digital age and social and digital inequality, with a specific focus on their implications for education.
