Abstract

The corporate structure was the dominant form of business organization, as reported in Schwartz (1962). In Guerard and Schwartz (2007), the authors reported that in 2000 there were somewhat more than 25 million nonfarm business firms in the United States. About 5.045 million of these were corporations of all classes; the other 2.058 million were partnerships, and 17.805 million were nonfarm proprietorships. We also reported that 66 percent of the gross national product originated in the business sector flows through the corporate sector in 2000.
