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 (TNCs).</p>

Previous studies have found that a few TNCs own large chunks of the
world's economy, but they included only a limited number of companies and
omitted indirect ownerships, so could not say how this affected the global
economy - whether it made it more or less stable, for instance.</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">
The Zurich team can. From <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.bvdinfo.com/Products/Company-Information/International/Orbis" target="_blank">Orbis 2007</a>, a database listing 37 million companies and
investors worldwide, they pulled out all 43,060 TNCs and the share ownerships
linking them. Then they constructed a model of which companies controlled others
through shareholding networks, coupled with each company's operating revenues,
to map the structure of economic power.</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</i>, revealed a core of 1318 companies with interlocking ownerships (see
image). Each of the 1318 had ties to two or more other companies, and on average
they were connected to 20. What's more, although they represented 20 per cent of
global operating revenues, the 1318 appeared to collectively own through their
shares the majority of the world's large blue chip and manufacturing firms - the
"real" economy - representing a further 60 per cent of global revenues.</p>

When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much
of it tracked back to a "super-entity" 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. "In effect, less than
1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire
network," says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20
included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and The Goldman Sachs
Group.</p>

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

Concentration of power is not good or bad in itself, says the
Zurich team, but the core'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>. "If one [company] suffers distress," says
Glattfelder, "this propagates."</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">
"It's disconcerting to see how connected things really are," 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'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't chime with some of the protesters' claims: the
super-entity is unlikely to be the intentional result of a conspiracy to rule
the world. "Such structures are common in nature," 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, "is strong evidence that simple rules governing
TNCs give rise spontaneously to highly connected groups". Or as Braha puts it:
"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."</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>
