In this episode of the In_equality Podcast, Christian Breunig and I discuss inequality in the political process: how elected politicians perceive economic inequality, how they assess public opinion, and what this means for representation and redistribution. The podcast is in german.

"Decision-making in politics"
In this German-language podcast episode, I talk about how elected politicians perceive economic inequality and how they make decisions about redistributive policies. The episode introduces the project “Political Elites and Inequality”, for which more than 700 members of German state and federal parliaments were surveyed. It also looks at where politicians’ and citizens’ views on inequality align — for example in their support for stronger redistribution within the public pension system.
In this German-language live podcast episode, recorded at the In_equality Conference, I had the opportunity to present findings from my research on political elites and inequality. I talk about how elected politicians perceive economic inequality, how they interpret public opinion, and why these perceptions matter for political representation and redistribution.
"More in common than we think? What citizens and members of parliament consider so fair."
In this article for the In_equality magazine, my co-authors and I discuss how citizens and elected politicians evaluate the fairness of social policies. Drawing on the project “Political Elites and Inequality”, the article looks at pensions, inheritance tax, tuition fees, and childcare fees — and asks where citizens’ and politicians’ views on redistribution align or differ.
