> Equity > GDP as a return to risk would require you to be able to "invest in GDP" in a relatively variance-free way
Technically no, it just requires one to be able to construct a basket that approximately returns GDP growth (along with GDP variance).
Note that total returns to equity include dividends, so you can easily have equity give outsize returns without total market cap approaching 100% of assets.
