I believe that outscores monopolies by several orders of magnitude. right, but that's mostly because in 1900 there was nothing comparable to today's multi-national mega-corporations. and, up to now, corporations don't have armies. so this is hardly a fair comparison. on the other hand, WW2 _was_ supported heavily by the german industrial elite. you may account the bodies to the nazi government, but it's undenieable that the german industry did play a part in it. but all this is hypothetical, since I'm not talking about industrial power of 1900 or 1940, but of corporate power in 2000, and especially of the years yet to come.
