The article presents the processes of integration and disintegration in the economy due to the list of 100 largest U.S. corporations in years 1955-2011. The analyses are based on various statistics and indicators, including the Gini coefficient of distribution variation of corporate assets, concentration ratios, coefficient of correlation between the positions occupied in different years and the statistics of entrants and exits on the list. The studies allow to draw conclusions about a relatively stable situation in a list to the year of 1995 and the necessity of a different approach to the period of 1995-2011.
