“AS PROTESTS against financial power sweep the world this week,
science may have confirmed the protesters’ worst fears. An analysis of
the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has
identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with
disproportionate power over the global economy.
The idea that a few bankers control a large chunk of the global
economy might not seem like news to New York’s Occupy Wall Street
movement and protesters elsewhere. But the study, by a trio of complex
systems theorists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in
Zurich, is the first to go beyond ideology to empirically identify
such a network of power. It combines the mathematics long used to
model natural systems with comprehensive corporate data to map
ownership among the world’s transnational corporations.”
