Obwohl die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung der Niederlande einen anderen Weg verfolgte, als der von den Länder, die Kuznets in seiner Studie über langfristige Einkommensverteilung untersucht hatte, wiesen die Niederländer das gleiche umgekehrte U-Muster der Ungleichheit auf, das Kuznets entwickelt hatte. Von der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bis ungefähr 1880 vergrößerte sich der Grad der Ungleichheit und verringerte sich allmählich danach. Während des Ersten Weltkrieges ergab sich eine dramatische Verbreitung der Einkommensunterschiede, die anschließend dann mehr als aufgehoben wurden. Das Muster der Einkommensverteilung direkt vor und direkt nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg war ähnlich. Zwar charakterisierten zyklische Entwicklungen die Geschichte der Einkommensverteilung in den Jahren zwischen den Kriegen, für den untersuchten Zeitraum insgesamt war jedoch die Entwicklung von Einkommens- und Reichtumsungleichheit deutlich im Rückgang begriffen.

Although the economic development of the Netherlands took a different path from that of the countries investigated by Kuznets in his study of long-run income distribution patterns, the Netherlands shared in the inverse-U pattern of inequality established by him. From the mid-nineteenth century until about 1880 levels of inequality increased, declining gradually thereafter. During WWI there was a dramatic widening of income differentials, which were subsequently more than reversed. The immediate pre- and post-WWI pattern of wealth distribution was similar. While cyclical developments characterized the distribution history of the inter-war years, for the period as a whole the trend of both income and wealth inequality was firmly downwards.... view less
