Trillions and Trillions
Synopsis: The size of the world’s top companies is truly staggering, creating an enormous amount of wealth for shareholders along the way. It has led to a greater concentration of not only market capitalisation, but also power in the hands of a few. There are other examples of large numbers in the global economy, reflecting massive domestic and international imbalances. With numbers of this scale floating around, it is easy to lose perspective and make uninformed investment decisions.
