(Phys.org)—A team of four researchers from four different universities in the U.S. has conducted a study intended to discover why policymakers in that country continue to make decisions that favor the elite, despite an electorate that would seemingly prefer the opposite. In their paper published in the journal Science, the team describes their study and results and suggests that what they found may help explain the growing gap between the haves and have-nots.
