ABSTRACT
It is necessary to recall the existence of two different nexuses of relationship - and of responsibility - that bind the individual to the administrators of public affairs with opaque bonds. In economic terms, the gap that tends to obscure the relationship of direct responsibility between the individual and wealth management structures - structures that are often invisible - resides in a complex of ideological factors, the most insidious of which today is technocracy, while an ethical finance cannot disregard the necessary 'marriage between technical knowledge and human wisdom', and, from a legal point of view, it is a matter of revitalizing and placing the fiduciary relationship at the centre of economic activity. The coercive action of laws can certainly be a valuable deterrent to cheating and dishonesty, but the limits of human codes are evident on the same ground as practice.
