I’m writing an informative essay that compares the motherboard or “heart” of the computer to the “heart” of society. I’m trying to distinguish if the stock market would be a good example of the “heart” of society. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The thesis of my paper is that if one part of a system does not work all the others fail to function. That’s why I chose the stock market, because so many things depend upon it. Markets in general becomes too broad.

How significant are stock market indexes for determining the health of an economy?
Filed Under Economics | 3 Comments
Opinionatedkitten asked:
Politicians are always quick to take credit when stock market raise, and they’re quick to blame opponents when they fall, but these are based on complicated calculations, which, recently, have lead to abnormalities based on wide fluctuation in one or other product and service (oil and housing come to mind).
So are stock indexes as reliable as they used to be in determining the health of an economy? How significant are they really?

Did the stock market crash because the banks were failing? How do failing stocks affect the economy?
Kasey asked:
In words that I will be able to understand, can anyone explain to me the correlation between the banks, the housing crisis, and the stock market. And how does the stock market affect the economy itself? I am just beginning to understand what the stock market is, so numbers and statistics are really not helpful.

guillerminelgrande asked:
Where can I find statistical data, from a reliable source, about how many households (I’m looking specifically for middle-class, but global stats would also do) have investments in the stock market?. I don’t mean trust funds or other “indirect” investments but people actually buying and trading stocks.

How would you explain to someone that a recession or stock market crash is not the failure of capitalism?

How would you explain to someone that a recession or stock market crash is not the failure of capitalism? With the stock market crashing in the past couple of months, unemployment soaring, and the Big 3 automakers on the verge of bankruptcy I’ve heard more than one person comment that it’s all proof that capitalism is outdated or never worked very well. How would you explain to them that capitalism does work?
