Journal Article
When Do the Rich Win?
2017
Overview
A major theoretical justification for representative democracy is that it puts power in the hands of the people. Political scientists have tested whether this actually is true by assessing the degree to which policy reflects citizens’ preferences. Recent work finds that public policy is frequently responsive to the will of the people, but that there is significant variation across policy domains. There may be variation in responsiveness to different people as well. Indeed, recent work suggests that policy is responsive primarily, or even solely, to the richest Americans, at the expense of the middle class and poor.
