In Rugged Individualism and the Misunderstanding of American
Inequality, the authors argue that the stronger individualism and
weaker structuralism found in the U.S. compared to much of Europe
ensures that American politicians do not face the same degree of
pressure that European politicians do to develop and/or maintain
robust and structurally-oriented social policies. Combined with
racism and features of the American political system, this works to
limit the generosity and effectiveness of anti-poverty and
inequality-reduction efforts in the U.S. This helps explain why the
U.S. compares so poorly to other wealthy countries on measures of
overall poverty, childhood poverty, economic inequality, and social
mobility.
