Abstract
[fre] C’est en effectuant un survol rapide des deux millénaires qui ont précédés l’institution officielle des bourses de valeurs que l’on peut constater que le système du ou des marchés n’est pas né au XVIIIe siècle. Nous indiquons dans cet article que le fait financier, l’objet ou le phénomène financier sont profondément indissociables de la constitution des premières civilisations où l’économie se résumait seulement à une autosubsistance. Ainsi, il apparaît que le mécanisme de la dette, dans sa double dimension sacrée et technique, a fondé la plus grande part des civilisations. En avançant dans le temps jusqu’à la création de la bourse de Paris en 1724, nous rappelons les circonstances de la création de concepts aussi importants que ceux de dette, de fonds, de commerce, de marché, de taux d’intérêt, de changeur, etc. [eng] The financial phenomenon and the financial markets in an historic perspective : from ancient societies to the creation of Paris stock market in 1724. We scrutinise the two millenaries preceding the official creation of stock exchanges to note that the market system(s) is not born in the XVIIIth century. We indicate in this paper that the financial fact, the subject or the financial phenomenon are deeply indistinguishable from the constitution of first civilisations where the economy was only resumed by an auto-subsistence. It appears that the debt mechanism, in its double dimension, technical and sacred, founded most of civilisations. By analysing those two millenaries, we indicate the circumstances of the creation of concepts as important as debt, funds, trade, market, interest rate, money changers etc.
