Every market consists of buyers and sellers, but my point is about owners. The degree to which a consumer or a laborer is an owner of the commodity which he trades is often negligible. The laborer owns nothing but his labor; the consumer nothing but the money with which he buys. This is ownership in a minimal sense only. So I don’t mean to deny that there is ownership at all in either of those cases, but that in those markets — as opposed to the stock market — the trajectory is towards minimizing the meaning of ownership. Ownership is power. The buying and selling a stock means a lot more for power than the selling of labor does, or the mere buying of consumer goods. The way the system is weighted, the ownership-power balance is tipped towards stocks, and not towards labor or consumer money.
