"To paraphrase author Gregory Zuckerman when he described surging American energy production: For all of the criticism the country has fielded for losing its edge in innovation, the ridiculously large market valuation of American companies outlined in the table above is a reminder of the deep pools of ingenuity, risk taking, and consumer-driven entrepreneurship that remain in the country. The successes of American corporations is attributable to creativity, bravado, and a strong desire to get really wealthy. It doesn't get more American than that. Indeed, the huge rewards promised in the market-driven American economy provide strong incentives for the remarkable achievement that is reflected in market valuations for American companies that top hundreds of billions of dollars in dozens of cases. The market caps of America's largest companies are ridiculously large because they are ridiculously successful, more than companies anywhere else on the planet, at creating value for consumers here and across the globe".
