In cross-sectional studies, countries with greater income inequality typically exhibit less support for government …-led redistribution and greater acceptance of wage inequality (e.g., United States versus Western Europe). If individual nations evolve … along this pattern, a vicious cycle could form with reduced social concern amplifying primal increases in inequality due to …
