What’s wrong with the current stock market? Maybe it’s time for a reset.

For almost a decade, Eric Ries has been obsessed with building a Silicon Valley-ified competitor to the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange. He envisioned a modern stock exchange that would speak to today’s tech entrepreneur who wants to run a public company but finds the incumbents too unfriendly.

It was pretty wacky. Until last month, when the SEC blessed Ries’ idea, the Long-Term Stock Exchange, as kosher.

Ries will discuss his new stock exchange at our annual Code Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, when he sits down with Vox.com editor-at-large Ezra Klein on Monday, June 10, at 2:35 p.m. PT.

Ries might be riding high after finally getting official approval to turn his vision into a reality, but many question marks continue to hover over the LTSE. Will any startups actually sign up for this risk? What exactly is the problem with the status quo? And is a new stock exchange really the right solution to solve the problems with modern markets that Ries is trying to address?

We’ll tackle all of that at Code. At a time when capitalism is being questioned and challenged on the left and the right alike, this is a vital conversation.

In advance, make sure you catch up on the LTSE with my piece on it from last month, when I also talked with Eric. Here’s a look from my colleague Rani Molla at the surge in the number of unprofitable companies now going public. And here’s a story about Uber’s rough first day as a public company, with some thoughts about long-term value as measured by the stock market.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
