Résumé Balzac raconte dans Ferragus l'ascension et la disparition des époux Desmarets dont la trajectoire au sein de la bourgeoisie d'affaires parisienne, sous la Restauration, illustre trois formes entrelacées de capital symbolique : le crédit professionnel, la confiance conjugale et l'honorabilité mondaine. Cette fable sociale constitue une véritable sociologie-fiction de la confiance, et permet une analyse socio-historique des conditions d'émergence d'une catégorie particulière de bourgeois parisiens : les agents de change, ces officiers ministériels et commerçants investis du monopole de la négociation des titres admis à la cote officielle de la Bourse de Paris.

This magnitude was mainly due to forward trading. The Bourse had developed as a forward market, despite a ban on forward transactions. The official stockbrokers played a key role in legitimizing and legalizing these operations, previously equated with gambling. The 1885 legalizing act initiated a new field of law and made possible further regulatory changes that paved the way for the heyday of the Paris Bourse.
