Brian Tessler AP Economics Teacher August 30, 2012 ?Planet Money? Summaries Episode 382: The Cool Kids Don?t Want to Go Public (June 26th) I learned that young entrepreneurs are trending towards selling their companies rather than going public, which is hurting the economy. In the past, the public?s ability to buy shares in a company led to a more balanced distribution of wealth, as opposed one man or corporation purchasing a company and keeping it private. I would like to know if business owners are leaning towards selling their company because it is an easier and quicker way to gain profit. This affects the factor market because it is leading to less companies being bought and sold on the public stock market.
