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 peoples evaluation of both wage rules and wage inequalities. Hereby Zsfia S. Igncz 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.

Wage Distribution Fairness in Post-Socialist Countries

Fairness of wage distributionor the perception of suchis a phenomenon crucial for the stability of new democracies. While theories exist about how change of the political system trickles down to the attitudinal level, the systematic analysis of the effect of economic transition on public attitudes has been neglected to a large extent.

Wage Distribution Fairness in Post-Socialist Countries proposes a conceptual framework to measure the fairness of wage distribution. Indeed, looking particularly at wage distribution fairness in three post-socialist societies (Hungary, East Germany, Czech Republic) since the transition in 1989, this challenging monograph also aims to understand if, and to what extent, the experience of a socialist regime motivates individuals to consider wage distribution as fair.

Contributing to our understanding of the relevance of socialization and other situational factors influencing economic legitimacy, Wage Distribution Fairness in Post-Socialist Countries will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as postdoctoral researchers, interested in fields including: Sociology, Eastern European Studies and Political Economics.

Zsfia S. Igncz is a research associate and lecturer at the Chair of Macrosociology at the Freie Universitt Berlin.

Preface

This book is more than seven years in the making. It started out as a doctoral project. In fact, the doctoral dissertation serves as the core of the book, but has been heavily revised and rewritten. The central theme of the book in the broadest sense is public opinion in post-socialist countries. The book is embedded in a distributive justice framework and focuses on the perceived fairness of the wage distribution in three post-socialist societies: Hungary, the Czech Republic, and (former) East Germany. The book concentrates on cultural and structural factors influencing justice attitudes toward the wage distribution and their interplay with historical factors.

The central argument of the book is that the fairness in post-socialist countriesfairness being a phenomenon crucial for the stability of these new democracieshas not been thoroughly and systematically researched previously. While theories exist about the political consolidation and how the change of the political system trickles down to the attitudinal level, the effect of the economic transition on attitudinal consolidation has been neglected to a large extent. Research that does address such questions is theoretically and empirically both incomplete. So far, research has disregarded the multidimensionality of the economic transition in these countries and its consequences, by primarily focusing only on justice attitudes toward wage inequalities (instead of wage distribution as a whole). However, the book argues that the rules of the game have changed as part of the economic transition as well, and it is just as important to understand justice attitudes toward wage inequalities
