摘要：Ideas about what is "fair" above and beyond the individuals.position
in the income ladder determine preferences for redistribution. We study
the dynamic evolution of di¤erent economies in which redistributive poli-
cies, perception of fairness, inequality and growth are jointly determined.
We show how including fairness explains various observed relationship
between inequality, redistribution and growth. We also show how dif-
ferent beliefs about fairness can keep two otherwise identical countries in
di¤erent development paths for a very long time.
