Of the world’s 100 largest economic entities, 51 are now corporations and 49 are countries.
The world’s 200 largest corporations have combined sales greater than the combined economies of all countries minus the biggest 10.
While the sales of the Top 200 are the equivalent of 27.5 percent of world economic activity, they employ only 0.78 percent of the world’s workforce.
