Description: Analysis and debate about economic and political justice rarely involves research on the views of the common person
Review Quotes:
"There have been few ambitious, large-scale international collaborative efforts at data collection in the past decade of the sort that are described in this edited volume by Kluegel, Mason and Wegener. . . . This book is a significant contribution to the study of the politics of inequality and to the linkages between microlevel beliefs and opinions and macrolevel phenomena like large-scale social, political, and economic change."
--Karen S. Cook, Contemporary Sociology
"The editors and contributors to Social Justice and Political Change have made a significant addition to our knowledge of public opinion in both Western capitalist democracies and among formerly communist states in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Readers will find a virtual treasure trove in this enormously ambitious work that explores questions of social and economic equality over a range of political, social and economic contexts. . . . It deserves to be in the syllabi of both undergraduate and graduate courses in public opinion, political theory, and comparative politics, and is almost certain to be well cited by researchers."
--Euel Elliott, The American Political Science Review
"This is a valuable book for those interested in justice perceptions among mass publics in the East and West."
--James L. Gibson, The Public Opinion Quarterly
