• The paradox of inequality: income inequality and belief in meritocracy go hand in hand (2019, background): “Sachweh (2012), for instance, argues that (German) citizens’ attitudes toward inequality are best understood as part of a ‘moral economy’ of shared repertoires that is supportive of, rather than caused by, the level of inequality in society.”
• How three narratives of modernity justify economic inequality (2016, background): “As argued by Sachweh (2012), the sparse, primarily American and French, qualitative research has also focused on American exceptionalism, for example Lamont’s description of American workers making harsher judgments of the poor than French workers (2000).”
