Part 5/9:
Market Share Gains: Large publicly traded companies can dominate market sectors, claiming more economic output even if the overall economy stagnates. The emergence of tech giants like the "Magnificent 7" (including Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple) exemplifies this gain.
Global Expansion: Bigger firms have increasingly sought international markets for growth. The globalization trends in recent decades have permitted U.S. companies to expand operations abroad, further enhancing their market shares.
