Financialization represents a growing threat for our economy. The volume of financial transactions has grown far beyond the real economy. In the past, the industrial capitalist was helping to create more value by investing. Now, the financial economy, which is mainly focused on speculative gains is destroying value. Crisis and price volatility are the best oppotunities for making profit, for those who can manipulate the system. There is a growing risk that, if such a system goes on, many countries will be in the same situation as Greece in the near future.
La financiarisation représente-t-elle une menace pour l'avenir? Le néolibéralisme des années Thatcher et Reagan a produit une nouvelle forme de capitalisme, dont l'évolution est porteuse de risques considérables pour l'avenir.
