Why America stopped creating public companies
America has roughly half as many public companies as it did 30 years ago.
In this interview, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins explains why he believes fewer companies are choosing to go public, how the SEC plans to modernize public market regulations, why retail investors deserve broader access to economic growth, and what needs to change to make IPOs attractive again.
The conversation also covers disclosure reform, quarterly reporting, democratizing IPO access, 24-hour trading, Trump Accounts, and the future of U.S. capital markets.
