I wonder where these percentages come from. Are they some average of all listed companies? or the S & P? or the Dow Jones Companies? If the latter I'd like to point out that foreign earnings are much more important than they used to be. Major U.S. companies have huge investments overseas now, much bigger than they were in 1968. This means that we maybe should be looking at the average of all share prices in the capitalist world to the GNP of the capitalist countries. That would be hard to get. I don't know how big an effect this factor has, but in any case foreign earnings should increase the ratio of profits to GNP. U.S. companies get at least a somewhat disproportionate share of world corporate profits. I imagine you would find Switzerland with a higher ratio than the U.S. To a somewhat lesser extent, the Netherlands should exhibit this phenomenon. But how do we get good data?
