This talk argues that income growth conditions citizens’ responses to changes in inequality. Poor and rich alike respond to rising inequality by demanding more redistribution when their incomes stagnate or decline. Income growth renders the poor less concerned about inequality and makes the rich think that the poor ought to be able to manage on their own. This talk tests these claims by matching data from the European Social Survey with objective measures of income inequality and income growth over the period 1999-2018, and also mobilizes original 2019 survey data on perceptions of inequality changes and the state of the macroeconomy.
