Productive assets
The productive assets is that part of reproducible assets in an economy which is used for power generation. It is made up of productive property (such as tangible assets , stocks, land) and human capital (the sum of all knowledge, skills and experience of the workforce), but not the workforce itself. This ability is a central prerequisite for all modern production processes and the competitiveness of an economy. In contrast to the classic view of economics , evolutionary economics regards every economic process as productive in the sense of a change in the state of knowledge .
Situation in Germany
Productive wealth in Germany is very unevenly distributed . In 1968 1.7 percent of all households in the Federal Republic owned over 70 percent of West German productive assets.
In 1957 Bruno Gleitze designed a model in which all employees were to participate in the company's capital formation through statutory regulations. His Gleitze Plan , named after him, was a concept for an inter-company so-called social capital fund.
