This chapter presents tables of data on Germany and an account of its increased earnings distribution. It shows that there has been a widening of earnings dispersion and a fanning out at the top. The existence for Germany of data for the late 1920s and 1930s allows an insight into a period, and a political experience (the rise of the Nazi dictatorship), whose distributional consequences have been little studied.
Keywords: country data, data sources, earnings distribution, Nazi dictatorship, earnings dispersion,
