    A congresswoman is putting legislation forward to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act which would greatly impact the stock market. It would ban stock buybacks, limit what and how large financial institutions could invest in and plenty of other stuff that is proven to help keep the economy stable.

    Plenty of people want ground-up reform, or total abolition of, corporations and stock markets. Look left of the US democratic party and you’ll find more than you could ever care to read on economics and markets. Same goes for banks, landlords, and publishers. You’re describing (in a very vague and roundabout way) socialism.
