The People’s Market
A few decades ago, it would have been extremely unusual to hear teenagers talking about trends in finance, and even a few years ago, trading stocks was a complicated and expensive proposition. Now, of course, your Robinhood app sits next to your banking app, and money moves at the touch of a finger. We spend time digging into the data, stories and unintended consequences of this sea change in investing—and learn about what the democratization of finance could do for philanthropy.
For the stock market’s new players, the numbers don’t always go up.
