在这篇文章中，我提出了一个相对剥夺的正式模型，并论证了它对不平等和政治不稳定之间的关系的影响。该模型基于与Nagel(1974)相似的假设，暗示不稳定与不平等的关系可以像Nagel发现的那样是曲线的，也可以像Russett(1964)发现的那样是线性的，尽管在不同的条件下。在这两种情况下，该模型都意味着减少不平等降低了相对贫困水平，从而增强了政治稳定的前景。然而，个人将自己的命运与他人的命运进行比较的倾向的变化，也会在很大程度上影响一个社会的相对贫困程度。
In this article I present a formal model of relative deprivation and demonstrate its implications concerning the relationship between inequality and political instability. The model, which is based on assumptions similar to those of Nagel (1974), implies that the relationship of instability to inequality can be either curvilinear, as Nagel found, or linear, as Russett (1964) found, although under different conditions. In both cases the model implies that reducing inequality reduces the level of relative deprivation, thereby enhancing the prospect for political stability. However, changes in the tendency of individuals to compare their lot with that of others can also substantially affect the level of relative deprivation in a society.
