?:abstract
  • Previous research shows that populism is more widespread among the self-perceived left behind who are discontent with societal development. I extend this line of research by suggesting that anti-elite grievances and political resentment—key ingredients of populism —may flourish in contexts of high economic inequality, when and because individuals perceive income distributions to be unfair. I explore this argument empirically in three steps. First, using data from two German surveys, I test whether perceptions of economic inequity, and social injustice more broadly, are associated with populist attitudes at the individual level. Second, I explore the connection between the reality of rising economic inequality and the perception of economic inequity using different waves of ISSP data since 1987. Third, using data from the 5th wave of the CSES, I investigate whether unequal income distributions are associated with higher levels of populist attitudes at the country level. Preliminary results support all three links. (xsd:string)
