Why is there a contradiction? Sounds more like a formula for a lot of small to medium sized businesses being started. If there were no Big-COs that provide thousands of jobs, people wouldn't roll over and decide not to work. On the contrary, it's likely more people would form their own business out of necessity. Now, would this be better for the US economy in general? Maybe. Maybe not. When I was in college I spent a stint as a Political Science major (focusing in IR). When learning about Asia I remember a lot of discussion about Taiwan's economy being successful in part because of their strong small to medium sized businesses. Taiwan's government seems to be a fan of this idea as well: http://www.taiwantoday.tw/ct.asp?xItem=127151&CtNode=429 http://www.taiwantoday.tw/ct.asp?xItem=127151&CtNode=429
