Political Inequality and the Welfare State

More about the book

The research paper examines the intricate relationship between social and political inequality as influenced by the welfare state. It argues that the welfare state contributes to rising political inequality, which is linked to increasing social inequality. The analysis presents four foundational arguments that transition from the realm of social equality to that of political equality, offering a theoretical framework to understand these dynamics. The study is rooted in political sociology, focusing on public opinion and political participation.
