[Jim Devine <jdevine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

does anyone know of a source for a consistently-calculated measure of the
rate of profit (rate of return) of the US non-financial corporate business
sector going all the way back to 1947 or so? I need some measure comparable
to that published by the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic
Analysis every year.

(one way to solve this problem is to use the market mechanism: I'll pay $1
to get this information. No takers? how about $2? no takers? how about $10?
;-))
