Abstract

Berle and Means asserted that US corporations typically have dispersed shareholders; their evidence did not support this conclusion. Today, 59.74% of US corporations have ‘controlling shareholders’ who hold at least 10% of the shares; 24.57% are controlled and managed by a family; 16.33% are controlled by a widely‐held financial institution; 13.55% are controlled through family trusts. In all size ranges, the USA has more corporations controlled by families than by financial institutions. In almost all size ranges, it has a higher percentage of family‐controlled corporations than any of next four largest economies.

谁在控制我们?
伯利和米恩斯断言,美国公司的股东通常是分散的;他们的证据并不支持这一结论。如今,59.74%的美国公司拥有至少持有10%股份的“控股股东”;24.57%由家族控制和管理;16.33%由广泛持有的金融机构控制;13.55%通过家族信托控制。在所有规模范围内,美国由家族控制的公司多于由金融机构控制的公司。在几乎所有规模范围内,美国家族控股企业的比例都高于排名其后的四大经济体中的任何一个。
