I see a lot of revolution and socialism vs capitalism comments here, but isn't this a not surprising finding given corporate consolidation and increase in CEO:total worker ratio?

Sure, there's debate about pro's and con's of corporate consolidation and market failures surrounding monopolies and oligopolies. But, with the increase in connectivity between regions via telecom, internet, mobile, etc; wouldn't there be an expectation of increased economies of scale from more frictionless communication?

If we note increased economies from scale for companies, it would naturally follow a CEO's wage would rise given the weight CEO's decisions when compared to results of company and number of workers affected. The CEO of walmart vs the CEO of 5 general stores would obviously change.

All I'm noting is that perhaps this is downstream of consolidation and that's the pertinent discussion, not deciding on socialism/revolution.
