Note these are corporate profits after taxes.

Couldn’t this be interpreted as simply increased globalization, as you’re using domestic GDP but corporate profits from a group of companies which increasingly derive income from overseas?
good question

Interested to know if this chart represents public corporations or all corporations. As you may know, there has been a major shift away from use of the corporate entity by non-public businesses over the last 20-30 years. There are literally several million non-public businesses which today are organized as LLCs, partnerships and subchapter S “flow through” entities. This huge number of businesses leaving the corporate income and tax roles would have a dramatic effect on any general analysis of “corporate income”.
