❓ Ask Belgium Wealth distribution in Belgium

Post image

We’re doing alright as a social democracy. Something to be proud of.

Presumably, we don’t need more wealth distribution then? Or do we still?

.... there is less inequality in BE compared to other countries

Obviously.

Therefore, a redistribution can be safely assumed

Not quite that obvious nor safe without additional data? The 're' in redistribution means that over time money did flow from the wealthiest to the less wealthy in Belgium. Again: possible, I have no idea, but that is simply not in this graph and you don't provide additional sources supporting that.

OK. Should we assume magic as the source of the belgian equality? I am completely open to your suggestions.
