Do you ask yourself why the CEO (the top of a global corporation) makes so much now? It's because he commands a greater share of the profits. When his company was more tied to the US and beholden to American workers, he had less negotiating power. Now his workforce spans countries and the underlings have no negotiating power at all. Hence ballooning income. There is a reason why big money execs and socialists alike find common ground on globalism.

It's also probably because the largest companies today are way freaking bigger than those of 1950. Just an idea.
