DESCRIPTION:This paper explores the political consequences of land inequal
 ity. We turn to the paradigmatic cases of Prussia as the locus classicus o
 f the pernicious effects of landlordism and Sweden\, often perceived to be
  Prussia’s opposite with a farmer-dominated social structure leading to 
 stable democratization during the late nineteenth and early twentieth cent
 uries. Contrary to prevailing theories associating land inequality with an
 ti-democratic attitudes\, the results indicate no positive correlation bet
 ween different measures of land inequality and electoral support for the c
 onservative and Nazi parties. For our analysis\, we collect comparable reg
 ional data on land inequality measures and voting outcomes for both countr
 ies.\n\nJoin us on Zoom:\nhttps://cam-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/81628787646?pwd=QkNC
