Du mythe de l’efficience des marchés au krach by David Bourghelle, Pauline Hyme

“…Far from favouring a fundamentals-based rationality, where every participant of the market seeks to estimate the objective value of assets by rationally calculate the discounted stream of future expected rewards and risks, market prices and, more generally, the agents ability to resell assets, completely dominate the traders’ mindset and compel them to adopt a self-referential rationality. This kind of rationality is entirely directed toward the prediction of what the dominant opinion of the market, in the form of the price, will be. …”
