honest question: i don't know enough to know why it might be good, but isn't the whole idea of the stock market just kinda wrecking fucking everything?
Oh yes, it definitely is.
But shareholders are the ones with actual power over companies. They are the ones the corporate executives fear. Not the government or the public. Assuming the execs don't also own a majority of shares that is.
same reason that the people who should be opposed to horrible things are all somehow all mum now?
Ooh jeez... Who's going to tell them?
it's a bit of a rhetorical question - i wouldn't have asked if i wasn't already pretty sure of the answer :P
