We analyze a wealth tax at corporate and personal level that is designed as an AMT as proposed by the German Green Party. This wealth tax is imputable to profit taxes and is hence intended to prevent multiple (multistage) taxation. Referring to data from annual reports and the German Central Bank we model enterprises of different structure, industry, size and legal status. We show that companies in the service sector which generally maintain rather high gearing rates are more frequently subjected to the wealth tax than capital intensive industries. This result runs counter to well-known effects of a common wealth tax. Capital intensive firms, e.g. in the metal industry, are levied with definitive wealth tax only if they have large loss carry-forwards or extremely volatile profits.

  • Authority and Democracy in Postwar France and West Germany, 1945–1968*
    Authority and Democracy in Postwar France and West Germany, 1945–1968* Sonja Levsen Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg In a radio interview in 1966, Theodor Adorno severely criticized what he saw as the faults of the German attitude toward authority. He claimed that “even in the literature on education—and this really is something truly frightening and very German—we find no sign of that uncompromising support for education for ma- turity, which we should be able to take for granted. In the place of maturity we find there a concept of authority, of commitment, or whatever other name these hideosities are given, which is decorated and veiled by existential-ontological arguments which sabotage the idea of maturity. In doing so they work, not just implicitly but quite openly, against the basic conditions required for a democ- racy.”1 Adorno’s diagnosis was characteristic of German educational debates in the late 1960s. It echoed concerns that were common not only among left-wing intellectuals but also in growing segments of the German public. German edu- cation, in this view, tended to undervalue critical thinking and maturity (Mün- digkeit) and was impregnated by an ideology of authority that counteracted the principles of democracy. Intellectuals in the 1960s saw this “authoritarianism” as the base mentality upon which National Socialism had grown and viewed its persistence in the Federal Republic as a “very German” phenomenon, a vestige of the Nazi period. Motivated by the diagnosis of a democratic deficit in 1960s Germany, Theo- dor Adorno delivered a series of radio speeches to the German public.
