This reminds me of how a monopoly works. In the 60’s and 70’s, when monopolies reached the peak of their golden reign, people began questioning their existence and led to their eventual “downfall”. In reality, the owners of those monopolies merely shifted to a more democratic way of maintaining their wealth and becoming even richer. Either they merged with other monopolies or allowed others to invest in their business through the stock market while maintaining their complete control over the business. In some cases, they turned over management to new ones and shifted or dissipated the public’s ire to those people. Who knows if the stock market is just another tool to keep our minds pliable while the monopolists continue to fleece us dry?
