Event description: 
Inequality in wealth is extreme, growing, and hurtful to democracy. But is it really that bad? Isn’t Germany a country that has managed to keep extreme forms of inequality at bay? And, anyways, what could possibly be done about it?

This public event will feature world-leading experts to help answer these questions, combining both new empirical data on the distribution of wealth and a new vision of what it would take to combat it.

Welcome by Prof. Dr. Bernd Huber and Prof. Dr. Fabian Pfeffer

Neue DIW-Studie zur Vermögensungleichheit bezieht erstmals Rentenansprüche mit ein: vorher hatte die ärmere Hälfte der Bevölkerung nur 2 % am Gesamtvermögen, mit Rentenansprüchen sind es 9 %. D.h. die Rente ist für diese Gruppe extrem wichtig. www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c.... @charlottebartels.bsky.social
