Synopsis Why do we not demand greater redistribution in countries with such high levels of inequality? Drawing on surveys, interviews and original experiments, the authors show how perceptions of inequality, social mobility, taxation and merit shape our preferences and, ultimately, fiscal policy. Mexico is the central case study: a society that recognises inequality, distrusts the government and wants those who have the most to pay more, but which at the same time overestimates its social mobility and makes its support conditional on the tax contributions of the elites.
