This paper examines the relationship between culture and redistribution, focusing on the individualism-collectivism dimension of culture. Perhaps surprisingly, countries with more individualistic cultures have significantly greater income redistribution and lower levels of after-tax income inequality. This finding also holds when using instruments for individualism suggested by the literature on cross-cultural psychology, including historical pathogen prevalence and linguistic and genetic characteristics, to address reverse causality, and is driven by higher-income countries. In higher income countries, individualism is positively correlated with generalized trust and tolerance of outsiders and negatively correlated with belief in traditional gender roles. In contrast, in lower income countries, individualism is associated with a stronger emphasis on self-reliance and the benefits of competition.

A belief in individual self-determination powered the development of universal human rights and inspired social movements from anti-slavery to socialism and feminism. At the same time, every attempt to embed individualism in systems of education and employment has eventually led to increased social inequality. Across the globe individualism has been transformed from a revolutionary force into an explanation for increasingly unequal societies where dissent is largely silent. This book explores the possibility of rediscovering the original, transformative potential of individualism.

Who do America's wars against poverty turn out to be wars against the poor? Why does a nation so committed to fighting crime show such a bad record of combating it and so morbid a fascination with it? Why is American racism so deeply rooted?

This individualism combines with racism and features of the political system to help perpetuate high levels of poverty and inequality"--

Culture and Inequality introduces the various ways in which inequality shapes the identity and opportunities of Americans. The phenomenon of inequality is analyzed from the perspective of how groups are represented by the media and other cultural institutions; how Americans view differences between groups; how groups differ in their behavior, attitudes, and lifestyles; and how groups differ in the material and nonmaterial resources to which they have access. The uniqueness of Lamont and Small's approach is that they focus on the cultural dimensions of inequality that are generally neglected. Indeed, the field of stratification is generally organized around a structural perspective that emphasizes the unequal distribution of material resources. Culture and Inequality satisfies the need for a synthetic interpretation that shifts the focus toward the impact of nonmaterial factors in the making of inequality.
