Who Owns American Business?
The encyclopedia says: Capitalism stresses the in-dividual's
freedom to undertake any enterprise, at his.
own risk and in his own manner.
And in the United States, despite propaganda ef-forts
by the forces opposed to our way of life, capital-ism
is strong and growing stronger.
This is 'shoWrn in the 1959 census of shareowners in
a report issued by the New York Stock Exchange.
The keport reflects a remarkable growth in share
ownership, showing that the nation has achieved a
unique blend of individual thrift and initiative and
justifying the confidence of those who believe that the
United States can be a society composed of many mil-lions
of private capitalists.
The report, New York Stock Exchange President
G. Keith Funston points out, is today's answer to the
question: "Who owns American business?"
Highlights of the share owners' census:
12,490,000 Americans- own shares in public cor-porations,
nearly double the 1952 total and 45 per cent
above 1956.
1 out of 8 adults is now a share owner.
Median age of new share owners (since 1956) is
35, compared to age 49 for all share owners.
Women outnumber men as share owners by a
somewhat larger margin than in 1956.
An estimated 1,335,000 share owners are members
of labor unions. 4,000,000 housewives are 'share owners
— the largest single group of owners.
California — second to New York in total share
owners — showed the greatest gain among the states
since 195G. Pennsylvania moved into third place.
America's 12,490,000 share owners are part own-ex•
6 oL5,100 publicly-held companies, which in early
195§- had '101 billion .ilorg of stock outstanding.
• This answer to "Who owns American business?"
promises a brighter future for the nation's people than
the Communists could ever hope to achieve through any
so-called share-the-wealth theory.
