- lotsofpulp 2y agoBerkshire Hathaway’s profit is due to selling Apple shares, so I would not count them. Also, since GDP is not revenue nor profit, it doesn’t make any sense to compare either sets of numbers.
- HPsquared 2y agoTrue, what would be the GDP relevant figure for a company then? Value added?

- mr_toad 2y agoRevenue is distorted in favour of low margin companies, while profit is distorted in favour of companies with a smaller workforce. A quick proxy for value added would be gross profit plus gross salaries. Ideally you’d want a measure of capital investment, but this is harder.
