Why is that? > As for the "very few", anyone can buy stock ... Things like 401ks have convinced people that they are participants. But owning 20 shares in Amazon doesn't make you a capital owner. Something like the wealth of the 8 richest people on Earth is about the same as the bottom 4 billion. But sure, tell me some more about stock market participation.
