5/ Overall, redistributive attitudes are shaped not only by class position, but also by the composition of social networks and by structural inequality.
Network segregation matters most in contexts of low to moderate inequality.

4/ National inequality significantly moderates these associations. In highly unequal countries, class differences in redistributive preferences narrow:
Working-class support stays stable with homogeneous networks, while service-class support increases redistributive preferences.

3/
These patterns reflect distinct relational experiences:
Working-class networks expose individuals to greater economic vulnerability, reinforcing redistributive preferences.
Service-class networks strengthen class, increasing distance from those in despair, reducing demand for redistribution.

2/
Micro-level findings (Figure 1):
Within the working class, having predominantly same-class networks is associated with higher support for redistribution.
Within the service class, homogeneous networks are linked to lower support.

Congrats!
