Seller's Description:
Fine. Size: 8.5 x 5.5 x 0.2 inches; Congressional voting patterns have historically been influenced by party membership and the spread and diversity of viewpoints within the two major parties. The authors examine voting patterns to trace changes in party orientation during the past thirty years. They argue that realignment has sharpened differences between the parties, increased their homogeneity, and heightened the degree to which they are oriented along economic lines. Income Redistribution and the Realignment of American Politics is one in a series of new AEI studies on trends in the level and distribution of U.S. wages, income, wealth, consumption, and other measures of material welfare. A list of publications in this series appears inside. Nolan M. McCarty is an assistant professor of political science at Columbia University. Keith T. Poole is professor of politics and political economy at Carnegie Mellon University. Howard Rosenthal is Roger Williams Straus Professor of Social Sciences at Princeton University. 68 pages.
