Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Do higher levels of inequality systematically prove beneficial to the global elites? And how does economic inequality articulate to (the lack of) democracy? This article discusses how the relationship between the wealthy and inequality varies across contexts and should best be explored as an empirical question.
