Political inequality is a major issue in American politics, with
racial minorities and low-income voters receiving less favorable
representation. Scholars argue that this political inequality stems
largely from differences in political participation and that if all
citizens participated equally we would achieve political equality.
Daniel M. Butler shows that this common view is incorrect. He uses
innovative field and survey experiments involving public officials
to show that a significant amount of bias in representation traces
its roots to the information, opinions, and attitudes that
politicians bring to office and suggests that even if all voters
participated equally, there would still be significant levels of
bias in American politics because of differences in elite
participation. Butler's work provides a new theoretical basis for
understanding inequality in American politics and insights into
what institutional changes can be used to fix the problem.
