Joint-stock companies

Stock Market: A place where buyers and sellers meet to trade stocks/shares. The stock market allows companies to raise money by offering stock shares and corporate bonds.

Dividends: These are payments made by a corporation to its shareholders, usually in the form of cash or additional shares. It's like getting a slice of the pizza profits in our analogy.

Capitalism: This is an economic system where private entities own the factors of production. The four factors are entrepreneurship, capital goods, natural resources, and labor.
