Jordan Belfort

I understand the origins of the stock market and big projects needing many interests cooperating and forming corporations,
and basically I understand the principle of stock holders and dividends being paid out.
But, when I look at what the markets evolved into, their focus on quick profits for traders, their ups and downs, it all seems to have gotten rather disconnected from actually producing anything,
it’s like all about pushing virtual money around and profiteering, but where does this money do work out in the community…
well besides supporting the luxury sales industries?
