Résumé
The so-called markets, as the current news main character, have taken advantage of democratic institucions� damage in order to set up the public policies for the whole citizenship. Banks, investors and rating agencies are disguised under a concept which enable them to provide to the public opinion a discourse full of rumours and speculations. As long as they are presented as forecasts, these actors manage to implement the neoliberal model. Information, instead of providing a accuracy knowledge of the financial system, becomes markets suitable tool, in order to spread fear and alarm within society and to subvert democratic order. This strategy turn markets into the legitimate owners of a new meaning of terrorism.
