Description
The relationship between socioeconomic inequality and democratic politics has been one of the vital central questions within the social sciences from Aristotle on. Latest waves of democratization, combined with deepened global inequalities, have made working out this relationship ever more an important. In The Great Gap, Merike Blofield seeks to give a contribution to this working out by analyzing inequality and politics within the region with the best possible socioeconomic inequalities on the planet: Latin The usa. The chapters, written by prominent scholars of their fields, address the socioeconomic context and inequality of opportunities; elite culture, public opinion, and media framing; capital mobility, campaign financing, representation, and gender equality policies; and taxation and social policies.
