Post-Print from HAL

Abstract: The ethics of finance cannot be limited to the deontology but must include the consideration of the impact of the management tools, in particular those which contain a representation of the risk. True machinery of professional finance, the management tools transporting a representation of the risk have in the same time an organizational (control procedures), institutional (standards of international regulation), technical (methods of evaluation), and cognitive impact (manners of thinking uncertainty to secure itself some). The shaping of the financial activities by the technical and mental tools is called « performation » of the financial system. It is very important to understand better the part played by the performation in the financial crisis of 2007-2008, so that the ethics of finance can enter in the techniques which make the financial world.
