You got a source for this? Because it sounds very cherry-picked and partially contradicting other data I have seen. Gini coefficient of Germany for example is among the worst in Europe.
Germany’s Gini coefficient for disposable income in 2025 is 30.1, according to Eurostat. Some EU countries show a higher Gini, some a lower one.
It’s the same thing everywhere. Germany’s inequality is around the Eurooean average by any comparative standard that I have seen. (And, again, Europe’s inequality is much lower than in most other world regions, particularly in larger economies like the U.S. and China.)
But if you think my data is cherry-picked, I’m open to learn something new. What are your sources?
Germany is around the European average pretty much by definition given it’s large size. But when you look at the actual data the wealth inequality is more similar to a corrupt mafia state like Malta, than countries like Belgium or Finland.
I provided a source for Gini. Eurostat is the European Statistal Office under administration of the European Commission.
If you looked at Eurostat/ European Commission, you saw that Finland and Malta have slightly lower Gini coefficients than Germany, around somewhere at the average. So the source you named doesn’t support your claim.
The same data source, but you seem to be cherry picking data from specific years and countries to make it fit your story that Germany is not at the lower end of the scale compared to other western-european countries.
Edit: and Finland had a gini of ~25 averaged over the last 5 years.
My data is the most recent, in that case it refers to the years 2024 and 2025.
Finland - whether you’d compare the 2025 Gini or the 5-year average, or any other metric - is among the countries with the lowest inequality in Europe (and, therefore, in the world). Nothing what I do is cherry-picked.
Germany has not higher inequality than its neighbours as you claim. If you insist you’re right and not mistaken, however, just name a source.
I named the source already, you just interpret it differently. Most western European countries with functional governance are closer to 25 than the >30 group that Germany finds itself in.

What are your sources?
Official data by the European comission. And besides, quite rich to ask me for sources when you provide none.
Why so uneasy?
