Abstract

Cet article présente l’Hypothèse d’Instabilité Financière (HIF) et essaie de montrer sa pertinence dans l’interprétation de la crise financière actuelle. Il montre qu’elle permet d’identifier deux causes structurelles: la déflation salariale et la fragilisation institutionnelle et qu’à coté de ces dernières, il est possible de mettre en avant des causes conjoncturelles dans l’interprétation de la crise : la titrisation, et les prêts non prime. Aussi, l’article tente-t-il de faire l’analyse de la crise des subprimes dans sa dimension financière (par la répercussion des difficultés des ménages américains sur les bilans des institutions financières et par la titrisation) et réelle (par l’effet richesse et l’intégration des sphères financière et réelle qu’elle assume dès le départ).
