Stumbled across an interesting report in New Scientist about a new study in complex systems analysis that has taken new steps in figuring out the web of interconnections in multinational corporations. Based on their analysis, 147 multinationals end up controlling about 60 percent of global revenues. It has some interesting consequences for economic stability and how things react to disturbances (like the financial collapse).
