Opis

Wage Distribution Fairness in Post-Socialist Countries proposes a conceptual framework to measure the fairness of wage distribution, aiming to understand if, and to what extent, the experience of a socialist regime motivates individuals to consider wage distribution as fair.

Recenzje

This book offers a profound and comprehensive view on the legitimacy of the wage distribution system in the relevant and interesting settings of three post-socialist countries. It takes a novel approach in examining wage distribution fairness, by developing bi-dimensional justice profiles looking people’s evaluation of both wage rules and wage inequalities. Hereby Zsófia Ignácz contributes not only conceptually and empirically to our knowledge of the (sources of) fairness of an essential element of the economic system, but also inspires researchers to develop better conceptualizations of public opinion towards complex social phenomena. By focusing specifically on the role of socialization in wage distribution fairness, this book is definitely interesting for sociologists, and particularly those with an interest in social justice.
