A broad discussion and a large number of documents and reports on inequality and poverty have been published in Spain during the last years, mainly as a consequence of the intense worsening of poverty and inequality levels during the economic crisis. After some explanations on the main concepts related to these concepts, the paper offers some data of inequality and poverty ratios and tries to yield some light on the main causes that can help to understand such results. In this respect, market income distribution and the redistributive capacity of the public policies are given special emphasis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
