The Bottom Line
Businesswoman in office

A world without the stock market might look very different. Things might be better in some ways and worse in others. You might not even realize some of the ways the stock market has affected your life, financial prospects, and the overall economy.


Key Takeaways
Without a stock market, purchasing shares directly from a company or selling directly to new investors would be more complex and expensive.
Business growth would be more difficult if companies could not have an initial public offering or issue new shares to raise money.
Eliminating the stock market would likely reduce income inequality between those who can invest to grow their wealth and those who cannot.
A country without a stock market might have more even income levels between classes but an overall weaker economy with fewer major corporations.[/tweet]
