Why do some people support redistributive policies such as a
generous welfare state, social policy or protections for the poor,
and others do not? The (often implicit) model behind much of
comparative politics and political economy starts with
redistribution preferences. These affect how individuals behave
politically and their behavior in turn affects the strategies of
political parties and the policies of governments. This book
challenges some influential interpretations of the political
consequences of inequality. Rueda and Stegmueller provide a novel
explanation of how the demand for redistribution is the result of
expected future income, the negative externalities of inequality,
and the relationship between altruism and population heterogeneity.
This innovative and timely volume will be of great interest to
readers interested in the political causes and consequences of
inequality.
