  3. CW: Long thread/6

    One way to measure that power is through #markups ("the difference between the selling price of goods or services and their cost"). Very large companies in concentrated industries have *very* high markups, and they're getting higher. From 2017-22, the 20 largest companies in the world had average markups of 50%. The 100 largest companies average 43%. The smallest half of companies get average markups of 25%.
