Global economy is like 90T. If Microsoft disappeared tomorrow there would probably be trillions in economic damage, but it's still hard to rationalize market cap worth 3% or global gdp. Software equivalent of credit card transaction fee but for basic productivity.
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoI believe your number for the global economy is GDP, which is more analogous to revenue than to market cap. Microsoft's revenue was $211 billion or 0.2% of global GDP.
- maxglute 3y agoYeah, revenue is more analogous, but the idea market cap of single companies can exceed single digit percent of global GDP is pretty wild to me.
