they were connected to 20. What&#39;s more, although they represented 20 per cent of

When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much 
of it tracked back to a &quot;super-entity&quot; of 147 even more tightly knit companies - 
all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity - that 
controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. &quot;In effect, less than 
1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire

Driffill</a> of the University of London, a macroeconomics expert, says the

the global economy, but rather its insights into economic stability.</p>

Concentration of power is not good or bad in itself, says the 
Zurich team, but the core&#39;s tight interconnections could be. As the world 
learned in 2008, <a style="padding-bottom:0px;border-right-width:0px;margin:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;color:rgb(0,117,154);border-left-width:0px;text-decoration:none;padding-top:0px" href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20777-haircuts-identified-as-a-cause-of-financial-crisis.html" target="_blank">such 
networks are unstable</a>. &quot;If one [company] suffers distress,&quot; says 
Glattfelder, &quot;this propagates.&quot;</p>
<p style="padding-bottom:0px;line-height:18px;border-right-width:0px;margin:0px 20px 20px 10px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;font-size:1em;border-left-width:0px;padding-top:0px">
&quot;It&#39;s disconcerting to see how connected things really are,&quot; agrees 
George Sugihara of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, 
California, a complex systems expert who has advised Deutsche Bank.</p>
<p style="padding-bottom:0px;line-height:18px;border-right-width:0px;margin:0px 20px 20px 10px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;font-size:1em;border-left-width:0px;padding-top:0px">
Yaneer Bar-Yam, head of the New England Complex Systems Institute 
(NECSI), warns that the analysis assumes ownership equates to control, which is 
not always true. Most company shares are held by fund managers who may or may 
not control what the companies they part-own actually do. The impact of this on 
the system&#39;s behaviour, he says, requires more analysis.</p>
<p style="padding-bottom:0px;line-height:18px;border-right-width:0px;margin:0px 20px 20px 10px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;font-size:1em;border-left-width:0px;padding-top:0px">
Crucially, by identifying the architecture of global economic 
power, the analysis could help make it more stable. By finding the vulnerable 
aspects of the system, economists can suggest measures to prevent future 
collapses spreading through the entire economy. Glattfelder says we may need 
global anti-trust rules, which now exist only at national level, to limit 
over-connection among TNCs. Bar-Yam says the analysis suggests one possible 
solution: firms should be taxed for excess interconnectivity to discourage this 
risk.</p>
<p style="padding-bottom:0px;line-height:18px;border-right-width:0px;margin:0px 20px 20px 10px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;font-size:1em;border-left-width:0px;padding-top:0px">
One thing won&#39;t chime with some of the protesters&#39; claims: the 
super-entity is unlikely to be the intentional result of a conspiracy to rule 
the world. &quot;Such structures are common in nature,&quot; says Sugihara.</p>
<p style="padding-bottom:0px;line-height:18px;border-right-width:0px;margin:0px 20px 20px 10px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;font-size:1em;border-left-width:0px;padding-top:0px">
Newcomers to any network connect preferentially to highly connected 
members. TNCs buy shares in each other for business reasons, not for world 
domination. If connectedness clusters, so does wealth, says Dan Braha of NECSI: 
in similar models, money flows towards the most highly connected members. The 
Zurich study, says Sugihara, &quot;is strong evidence that simple rules governing 
TNCs give rise spontaneously to highly connected groups&quot;. Or as Braha puts it: 
&quot;The Occupy Wall Street claim that 1 per cent of people have most of the wealth 
reflects a logical phase of the self-organising economy.&quot;</p>
<p style="padding-bottom:0px;line-height:18px;border-right-width:0px;margin:0px 20px 20px 10px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;font-size:1em;border-left-width:0px;padding-top:0px">
So, the super-entity may not result from conspiracy. The real 
question, says the Zurich team, is whether it can exert concerted political 
power. Driffill feels 147 is too many to sustain collusion. Braha suspects they 
will compete in the market but act together on common interests. Resisting 
changes to the network structure may be one such common interest.</p>
