1. La concentración era principalmente en el
marco nacional
• En 1907 había en Alemania 586 empresas de más de 1.000 obreros,
que empleaban a casi la décima parte (1.380.000) del total de los
trabajadores industriales y consumían casi un tercio (32%) del total de
la energía eléctrica y mecánica.
Empresas “nacionales” de EUA
• While most of the world’s highest-valued companies are American, a
few exceptions prove the point: Chinese technology firm Tencent and
microchip maker Taiwan Semiconductor vaulted into the top 10 only
in recent years (Alibaba, which just a year ago boasted a bigger
valuation than Facebook, has slipped to 11th position after becoming
the target of an antitrust investigation by the Chinese authorities).
Their rise marked a shift not just in the geographical composition of
the list, but a sectoral one as well. Until a decade ago, the most
capitalized enterprises on the stock market were traditional long-
standing blue-chip behemoths like Exxon, General Electric and AT&T.
Today it is almost all tech companies.
• This is why Fortune's annual Global 500 list ranks the world’s top
corporations by revenue instead of market capitalization to determine
which is truly the largest. Published every year since 1995, the Global
500 list provides a bird's-eye view of the most important long-term
trends in global markets.

• After reaching a record high of $33.3 trillion in 2019, in 2020 total

revenue for the top 500 firms fell 4.8% to $31.7 trillion, the most since
2016.
• In a year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, the largest Chinese
financial institutions maintained their positions as the world's biggest
banks by assets, S&P Global Market Intelligence's annual global bank
ranking shows.

• China's "Big Four" — Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd.,

China Construction Bank Corp., Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. and
Bank of China Ltd. — all held their top spots in 2021 as the four
largest in the globe. Together, they reported a combined asset value
of $17.321 trillion, up 16.88% from the 2020 ranking.
III. EL CAPITAL FINANCIERO Y LA
OLIGARQUÍA FINANCIERA
• El capital bancario —es decir, capital en forma de dinero— que se
convierte de esa manera en capital industrial es lo que yo llamo
‘capital financiero’ (...) El capital financiero es el capital controlado por
los bancos y utilizado por los industriales”.(1)
IV. LA EXPORTACIÓN DE CAPITAL

• Característico del viejo capitalismo, cuando la libre competencia

dominaba indivisa, era la exportación de bienes.
• Característico del capitalismo moderno, donde manda el monopolio,
es la exportación de capital.
