Description: This booklet is about the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Workers are directly or indirectly affected by what happens at the JSE. There are many workers at companies which are listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The bosses of some of these companies are encouraging workers to own shares in these companies. Some workers already own shares in the companies where they work. Workers’ pension and provident funds are being invested on the stock exchange. These issues have raised questions among workers about what shares are, how they make money and where they are traded. This pamphlet addresses some of these questions. It focuses mainly on what the stock exchange is, how it works and what role it plays in the economy. Because workers are also thinking about how the present South African economy can be restructured, the pamphlet also raises a few questions for discussion on the role of the JSE in a future economy.
