Martyna Linartas: »Unverdiente Ungleichheit«

In the organizer's words:

Germany is an inheritance society, and that is a problem for democracy. More than half of wealth is not earned, but inherited. The gap between rich and poor is widening; social advancement is becoming more difficult. All statistics show that the distribution of wealth, not income, is the main driver of growing inequality in Germany. According to Martyna Linartas, one way of correcting this development is the much-discussed inheritance tax. In her book Undeserved Inequality, she traces the history of this tax and talks to some of the most powerful business leaders from Germany and Mexico. Where does the business elite stand on these issues? And why does it seem so difficult to tax inherited wealth? These are questions that also interest Salon host Jonas Pagel .
