Abstract: It is paradoxical that companies, organizations or institutions can make decisions that expose them to economic and financial risk and that in this respect they also claim to be exempt from their economic, financial, social and societal responsibility ; that the economic and financial impact of their decisions, as well as the social and societal impact, are partly or wholly borne by others than themselves without their enrichment being impacted. It is commonly accepted that risk exposure is inherent to uncertainty. It is however easy to show that it is not necessary to know the occurrences of risks to manage this one, but that it is enough to know the conditions to which a risk is subordinated to make the good decisions. We show in this article that the process at work, which explains this behavior, is the process of the reversal in the pair of opposites (Freud, 2012). We examine here the case of the turnaround on others, which allows the actors benefiting from this reversal to benefit from it. The institution or company commonly becomes the custodian of the consequences of risk exposure. Worse, this perspective allows the actor to exercise control over the institution that will ultimately cover and exempt him from the uncertainty inherent in the economic or financial activity ... by making the company social and financial cost of impunity.
