What the market is not doing so well is its core public function: allocating capital efficiently...
...the companies in which people most want to invest, technology stars like Facebook and Twitter, are managing to avoid the public markets entirely by raising hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars privately. You and I can’t buy into these companies; only very select institutions and well-connected individuals can.
That whole ownership society thing has hit a rough patch, hasn't it?
