The economic change in Germany: income, jobs, property, 1950 to 1993 — •Jürgen Mimkes, Christian Denk, and Thorsten Fründ — Dept. Physik, Universität Paderborn

The model of complex structures leads to three states in socio-economic systems: hierarchy, democracy and the global state. Revolutions and wars are first order transitions. Before 1945 the political system in Germany was in hierarchic and collective order and - in a fractal way - this was true for all subsystems: economy, work, church, family, school, health or age care. After World War II the political system in Germany changed abruptly from collective hierarchy to individual democracy and the economy turned from state industry to a free social market. However, the new democratic, individual structures evolved only gradually after one or two generations in work as well as in church, family, health and age care. This is demonstrated by comparing US income distributions to German data (1950 to 1975). US data show a Boltzmann distribution, German data show a slow change from Gaussian to Boltzmann distribution. The German property distribution of 1993 shows a clear Boltzmann function. The same gradual change is taking place in all other subsystems, church, family, health and age care.
