German empires are always rich

The assets of German households have more than doubled since 1992. However, only ten percent of the population shares half of it, the bottom half has only one percent - and the state will be poorer.

• The private wealth in Germany is getting bigger, the assets of the state, however smaller. At the same time, the richest are getting richer. The walk out of the draft produced for the fourth poverty and wealth report of the federal government, reports the "Süddeutsche Zeitung"
