THE WORLD'S LARGEST 100 ECONOMIES

A rising number of the world's largest economic units are companies, not countries, according to a recent analysis by The Conference Board.

The world's "top 100 economies" now include 47 industrial companies and 53 countries, compared with 39 industrial firms and 61 nations a decade ago. Companies are ranked according to their total sales and countries are ranked according to their gross national products.

The United States continues as the world's leading economy, followed by Japan, Germany, and France. The top 100 economies include 16 US firms, led by General Motors, Ford, Exxon, and IBM. Eleven Japanese corporations made the top-100 list.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
