“…Finally, it is essential to mention other spheres that require further inquiry. To date, there are few longitudinal studies of the perception of inequality (for exceptions, see Becker, 2021) that report on the stability and changes in this perception. Longitudinal methods must be used to check cumulative findings.…”

“…Finalmente, es necesario mencionar otros ámbitos que requieren mayor desarrollo. Hasta el momento el estudio de la percepción de desigualdad cuenta con pocos estudios longitudinales (para excepciones ver Becker, 2021) que den cuenta de la estabilidad y los cambios en la percepción. Es necesario utilizar métodos longitudinales para contrastar los hallazgos acumulados.…”

“…Además, es importante constatar que el estudio de aspectos perceptuales de la desigualdad posee menor desarrollo que el estudio sobre creencias, valores y preferencias (Hochschild, 2001), lo que es particularmente notorio en la prolífica agenda sobre preferencias redistributivas. Por ello, un mayor avance en el estudio de las percepciones permitiría no solo avanzar en el contraste de aspectos objetivos y subjetivos de la desigualdad, sino también comprender cómo la desigualdad percibida afecta las preferencias sobre la distribución de los recursos económicos (Becker, 2021;Bobzien, 2020).…”

“…Therefore, further progress in the study of perceptions would not only allow us to make progress in contrasting objective and subjective aspects of inequality but also to understand how perceived inequality affects preferences about the distribution of economic resources (Becker, 2021; Bobzien, 2020).…”

“Caught in the Middle! Wealth Inequality and Conflict over Redistribution”

A vast literature documents that wealth inequality has risen throughout advanced democracies, especially the accumulation of wealth among the rich. Yet, instead of increasing wealth redistribution, governments have done the seemingly opposite. Key to understanding why democratic governments do not increase wealth redistribution in times of rising inequalities is to shed light on the public’s preferences. In this paper, we map the public’s redistributive preferences in fourteen countries based on new survey data. We show that traditional socioeconomic cleavages in preferences for wealth redistribution are undermined by diverging mobility expectations. People who expect to climb up the wealth distribution, mostly lower wealth groups, are less supportive of redistribution than people with high stakes of major wealth losses, mainly upper wealth groups. We show that future expectations among the rich and the poor have a highly moderating role for the class conflict over wealth redistribution. Moreover, the middle class, the decisive group in democracies, is highly unresponsive to future prospects. The findings suggest that the middle class does not have much to lose or to win, and therefore, wealth redistribution is of low salience among this group.
