Was the basis for the plot in the movie "Wall Street".

Corporations have been spinning divisions forever. M&A. Supermarkets back to the 1920s. Manufactured goods in the 60s and 70s and 80s. Appliances, Fridges, power equipment, vacuum cleaners, electronics. Brands, factories. Now there are companies that collect brands, private equity some of them. Factories were sold and the equipment moved to Asia. Products would disappear for a couple years, then reappear, substantially the same. Everything is for sale!
