| Abstract: | It is a common opinion that power has shifted from states to companies. Quantitative and qualitative aspects of power possessed by companies and by states are discussed in this paper. A more adequate comparison than that between company sales and gross national product is the one between company value added and GNP. Also more adequate is the comparison between the public sector and company net profit. These rival measures take down company power to about a tenth of the sales measure. |
