Rising Inequality and the Politics of Redistribution in Affluent Countries (2005, background): “54 Moene and Wallerstein 2001; Moene and Waller- stein 2003.”
High-skilled outsiders? Labor market vulnerability, education and welfare state preferences (2015, background): “The relationship between labor market vulnerability and the demand for generous and redistributive social policy, by contrast, is positive (Moene and Wallerstein, 2001; Walter, 2010; Fernàndez-Albertos and Manzano, 2011; Rehm, 2011b).”
The threat of social decline: income inequality and radical right support (2020, background): “The second logic is premised upon risk theories (Moene and Wallerstein 2001; Rehm 2016) and maintains that middle-income individuals face potentially large income losses in very unequal societies and turn to the radical right as a result of anxieties about decline.”
Welfare regimes and welfare state outcomes in Europe (2012, background): “The fact that social insurance programmes are usually directed to distinct socio-political groups and mainly financed by insurance contributions limits the political support for extensive cross-class redistribution through transfer payments (Moene and Wallerstein, 2001).”
