Taxes may increase growth if they finance public services, but reduce growth when used to redistribute income between classes. The different social classes have different preferences about growth and redistribution. The resulting conflict is resolved through the tax negotiations between the political parties. I use the model to obtain empirical predictions and policy lessons about the relationship between economic growth and income inequality. In particular, I show that, although differences in growth rates across countries may be negatively related to income inequality, redistributing wealth does not enhance growth."^^; "1992-07"; "2018-03-29T18:42:31.481318497+00:00"^^; ; "2021-02-02T18:13:42.607436654+00:00"^^; "Conference Proceeding"; "128"; "Conference on economics and politics"; ; ; ; ; "Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
