Abstract: We describe and interpret the public debate about a law (la loi Macron) passed in 2015. It is dealing with political economy, and its goal is to transformsand simplify the business envionrment. The debates provide an occasion to analyse some of the main stake-holders' rhetorics, and compare it with other, non-argumentative strategies and modes of action in the public and private spheres. In the tradition of Albert O. Hirschman, we investigate the choice of « exit, voice or loyalty » as it is staged in the French media. More specifically, we look at the representative system and the influence of rhetorics and other tacticts on actors' control of the field, in the context of strategic decision-making about market transactions and economics.
