Discussion of stock values

[James Baird]

About hte mystery of how profits can grow faster than the economy, has 
there been a long-term increase in the "corporateization" of the 
economy?  I thinking of this: local store (which is counted in GDP, but 
is not traded on exchanges) is forced out of business by Wal-Mart (which 
is).  Coul the discrepancy simply be due to more of the total GDP being 
controlled by publically traded companies?  Are there any numbers on 
this?
