What sets the price of stocks?- looking to invest in bonds?

Perhaps time to understand what money is, and how it is used to transfer wealth.- starting a company? if you are an entrepreneur planning on starting your own company, then perhaps you should understand what corporations are, why we have them, and why stock is issued. Why do we even have corporations?- or, after 2020, do you just want to help improve our society? Why not improve the standard of living for all? Because that is what a healthy, wealth creating economy does.If you answered yes to any of the above, then perhaps this book is the answer.
