The same authority says that,
omitting from consideration the
small business corporation, the to
tal capitalization of the railroads,
the public utility corporations, the
banks, the insurance companies
and industrial trusts of the country
is about $43,000,000,000. Thus,
approximately one-third of the to
tal wealth of the country and four
fifths of all the vital corporate cap
ital of the nation has passed into
the control or under the domination
of less than a dozen men!
