Resumen de The Stock Market in Capitalism

Cristian Paúl Naranjo Navas, Cumandá Navas Labanda

• español

  The essay performs a theoretical and historical review of the foundations of capitalism, the stock market, and its functionality in capitalism, seen within the context of business development, economic develop- ment, and international economic crises. Through a bibliographic, historical-analytical and descriptive review, we have reached the conclusion that, despite the risks that may come from flexible limits on stock exchanges, as in the cases of the Great Depression of 1929 or in the Great Recession of 2008, the benefits of the existence of an stock market are greater because they it helps to generate increases in savings, capital investments, job creation and, in general, in the well-being of society. This role of the stock exchanges allows capitalism to strengthen and evolve over time.
