This book analyzes the link between economic and political
inequalities and investigates the mechanisms that lead to
economically rooted inequalities in the political representation of
citizens' policy preferences. Focusing on the case of Switzerland
and evaluating data from the post-electoral survey, Selects 2007,
the author demonstrates that the policy preferences of members of
the Federal Assembly best reflect those of rich citizens. This
pattern is explained by differential levels of political
participation and knowledge across income groups, party finance,
the fact that representatives tend to come from higher economic
strata, and the failure of the party-system structure to reflect
the complexity of policy preferences among citizens.
