"Envy in Politics gracefully mixes social science with political theory. The writing is elegant and incisive and the analysis penetrating and persuasive. This book proclaims the arrival of a major scholar."--Robert H. Bates, Harvard University "Where political behavior meets behavioral economics, we find political misbehavior. Brilliantly advancing this emerging research agenda, Envy in Politics marries timeless theoretical insights with cutting-edge methods, and establishes that citizens engage in politics not just to secure gains for themselves, but to impose losses on others."--Dan Slater,…mehr

"Envy in Politics gracefully mixes social science with political theory. The writing is elegant and incisive and the analysis penetrating and persuasive. This book proclaims the arrival of a major scholar."--Robert H. Bates, Harvard University "Where political behavior meets behavioral economics, we find political misbehavior. Brilliantly advancing this emerging research agenda, Envy in Politics marries timeless theoretical insights with cutting-edge methods, and establishes that citizens engage in politics not just to secure gains for themselves, but to impose losses on others."--Dan Slater, University of Michigan "McClendon's thoughtful book takes seriously the idea that humans are motivated not just by how well off they are but by how they rank compared to others--particularly to those around them. Though ignored in standard models of political behavior, status concerns, McClendon shows, help explain a multitude of political puzzles."--Macartan Humphreys, Columbia University and WZB Berlin Social Science Center "In Envy in Politics, McClendon shows that envy affects political behavior in varied and interesting ways that political scientists have previously ignored. This thought-provoking and important book is a very good read." --Ruth Grant, Duke University "This book is likely the most comprehensive study of how envy and status-based motivations can shape political outcomes. It integrates material from a wide number of social science studies, develops clear definitions and testable hypotheses, and demonstrates the power of status motivations on important political decisions. McClendon's research is impressive."--Roger Petersen, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
