Summary
How do people form proportionality beliefs? How do these beliefs change? Chapter 9 uses British panel data to document the push and pull between the discursive context people are socialized into, on the one hand, and economic hardship, on the other. Using British panel data collected over more than a decade, I show that individuals experiencing hardship are more likely to resist right-wing claims regarding the fairness of markets and income differences.
