    You should absolutely not abolish the stock market because it’s the single way most average people have to becoming wealthy. What you should do is change how it operates. Here’s a novel idea I’ve had for a long time.

    Make more and more companies worker co-ops going forward by incentivizing them the attacks credits and local government health in getting them started. Preserve 75% of the company for the people who actually work there which is what makes it a worker’s co-op.

    Reserve 25% of the company for speculation on Wall Street and to raise capital if they need to.

    This way you can have sort of a socialist economy that avoids abuses and a stock market at the same time that provides liquidity and efficiency.
