Abstract: First part: Finance is built on a three-dimension risk: risk is measured, assessed, aggregated. If the economics of the crisis encourage reform and relaunch, it is also the sign of a crisis of economics. Two lessons can be drawn: avoid absurd risk -a fourth and often forgotten dimension of risk- and come back to the ethical basis of economics. Second part: Based on the works of Christian Arnsperger, an ethics of economics is encouraged, mainly because of the often called upon notions of value and rationality. It allows for a combination of methodological individualism and holism.
