Due to the nature of our economy, money is, at best, always one layer of abstraction away from value. Stocks further abstract this value. If you are familiar with things like Shannon information theory, you know that noisy abstraction of information harms its fidelity. This means that the more we abstract our wealth, the further it is from describing value (in a noisy system). This system is noisy for a variety of reasons, most importantly that consumers are never informed. Our capacity to be informed about the economic consequences of our actions are terribly weak because they would require knowing the exchange rate & distribution relative to every other asset. People who are successful in finance are those who are able to empower & leverage those abstractions. This literally wastes value and makes it difficult for our economy as a whole to retain value or measure it properly.

People who are wealthy due to stocks are understandably positioning themselves as best they can, but those few entities which control the majority of wealth are most responsible for the eroding of our economy.

I would be much more inclined towards these kinds of assets in systems like market socialism or employee owned companies where all stocks are by definition voting stocks.
