Introduction -- Electoral Democratic Representation and the Market Economy: Irreconcilable Assumptions, Driving Forces and Outcomes -- Explaining Unequal Representation -- Empirical Study of Unequal Representation in Switzerland: Towards an Analytical Framework -- Unequal Representation in Switzerland -- Unequal Representation by Parties: Explanations Based on the Elites' Side of the Representation Process -- The Structure of Party Competition and Electoral Choice: Explanations Based on the Electoral Behavior of Citizens -- The Moderating Effect of Party Finance Regulations -- Conclusion.

This book analyzes the link between economic and political inequalities and investigates the mechanisms that lead to economically rooted inequalities in the political representation of citizens' policy preferences. Focusing on the case of Switzerland and evaluating data from the post-electoral survey, Selects 2007, the author demonstrates that the policy preferences of members of the Federal Assembly best reflect those of rich citizens. This pattern is explained by differential levels of political participation and knowledge across income groups, party finance, the fact that representatives tend to come from higher economic strata, and the failure of the party-system structure to reflect the complexity of policy preferences among citizens.
