@conradhackett @sociology @economics i'm quite sure there's a lot of depth to this chart.

What is household wealth? How does it relate to debt?

I'm quite sure some 80% of the top 3 is really just debt. E.g. the Netherlands households live in houses €500000 up, but financed with loans often far above that. Do they *have* half a million, do they *owe* half a million?

There's a whole page of details, with pointers to more details, cited right above the chart, if you want to look those things up. :)
