What drives support for or opposition to redistributive taxation
and spending? Why is ethnic diversity associated with inequality
and a lack of redistribution? This book argues that many
individuals, recognizing that they live in a world of uncertainty,
use the groups of which they are a member as a heuristic to
understand how welfare states are likely to impact them. This leads
to reduced support for redistribution among the wealthy, whose
disproportionate influence over policy in turn leads to less
redistribution. Group Interests, Individual Attitudes develops the
argument with a series of empirical implications, which are then
tested using data from a variety of sources. It examines regional
and ethnic politics in the United Kingdom, Germany, Slovakia,
Canada, and Italy, using a combination of qualitative and
quantitative evidence, existing and new surveys, and observational
and experimental methods. The evidence is largely consistent with a
heuristic theory, allowing us to see group politics in a new light.
