Industrialization and Democracy
This article provides a new theory about the relationship between economic development and democracy. The author argues that a larger share of employment in manufacturing—that is, a higher level of industrialization—makes mass mobilization both more likely to occur and more costly to suppress. This in turn increases the power of the masses vis-à-vis autocratic elites, making democracy more likely. Novel manufacturing employment data for 145 count…
Positional Deprivation and Support for Redistribution and Social Insurance in Europe
We argue that support for redistribution increases when one experiences “positional deprivation,” situations when one’s own income increases slower or decreases faster compared to that of others. This specific combination of economic suffering over-time and relative to others has effects beyond well-studied measures of suffering that are static and/or absolute in nature, such as income level. We empirically explore this hypothesis by using “objec…
Positional deprivation and support for radical right and radical left parties
We explore how support for radical parties of both the left and right may be shaped by what we call ‘positional deprivation’, where growth in income of individuals at a given point in the income distribution is outpaced by income growth elsewhere in that distribution. We argue that positional deprivation captures the combination of over-time and relative misfortune that can be expected to distinctly spur support for radical left and right parties…
