The world’s oldest companies

I came across this list of the oldest companies on Wikipedia and was immediately drawn in by its content. How the hell can forms of business management from 1000 years ago predict the spread of wealth in today’s world so accurately? And why have most of those ancient companies remained so small throughout their history – does that teach us anything about the optimal size for a corporation?

What is furthermore the meaning of a long history and much experience with the corporate business model (like in Japan or Germany) on the one hand and its absence on the other (say China, Russia, Turkey) juxtaposed with the current state of economic development on those countries? Interesting indeed…
