"This book applies a novel theory of 'unbalanced responsiveness' to the issue of economic inequality in China to better understand the relationship between authoritarian regimes and their citizens. The book highlights how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has responded to dissatisfaction over inequality, with both propaganda and policy, revealing how the responsiveness in these two arenas is unbalanced. Arguing that whilst CCP propaganda claims to reduce inequality, its welfare programs have been stratified, unfair, and regressive, aggravating instead of alleviating inequalities. By utilising data from multiple national surveys, the book reveals that discrepancy between propaganda and policy ultimately generates further dissatisfaction and strong demands for redistribution. The findings of this study indicate how unmitigated and prolonged economic inequality could be a real threat to the sustained rule of the CCP regime. Providing a new theory, applicable to authoritarian and especially communist regimes, demonstrated through the lens of China, this book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Chinese studies, Political Science and Public Policy"--

There is a growing consensus among scholars that one of the biggest drivers of income inequality in the United States is government activity (or inactivity). While many Americans look to the federal government to take action to combat inequality, William Franko and Christopher Witko assert that it is the states that are best positioned and most likely to actually do something about it. 'The New Economic Populism' argues that over time, more egalitarian policies at the state level will spread across to other states and, eventually, to the federal level.
