Vulture capitalism

Vulture capitalism is an investment strategy of buying shares in companies that are failing, in hopes of making a profit by dissolving the firm and selling the assets. This frees up those assets for more productive uses. Presumably, there was a relatively high demand for the company's resources to be employed in uses other than what the company was using them for, so wealth is created by this transaction.^{[citation needed]}
