Lastenausgleich

 In progress

Lastenausgleich. The post World War II program and laws to recompense Germans and ethnic Germans who fled their homelands for their lost properties. This wasa very complicated law that transferred enormous wealth to the immigrants over a period of decades. It may well have provided a strong basis for the Wirtschaftswunder or German 'economic miracle" in the post - war basis. Economic analysis of this activity could influence modern tax laws for understanding how transfer of wealth through higher minimum wage laws and direct transfers can influence a modern economy.
