Who Owns American Industry and its Broad Ownership
The piece argues that American industry is widely held by many small investors, not a few plutocrats. An American Federation of Investors study shows 4.15 million stockholders across 110 top corporations, with about 3.57 million holding 100 shares or less. It notes large employer counts and substantial dividends, claiming broad, diffuse ownership across farmers, teachers, clerks, and small professionals, with taxes and dividends highlighting distributed wealth.
