Do we really, truly need the stock market?
 I know that if it vanished tomorrow, it would create chaos, but couldn't we phase it out and do much better? Along with all the other math equations that make up the "investment" world. Does the stock market actually do anything, besides what it does for those who put money into it?

I admit, this question is based on substantial ignorance on my part, so hopefully I'll learn something
