Research and innovation involve knowledge in the form of effective "processes". These radically alter the relationship of men to the world and to other men. How to manage this effectiveness responsibly? The idea is to examine various possible structurations of such processes, in order to identify efficient processes that are ethical by their structure alone. The responsibility would then be to choose to achieve such objectives, instead of another that would be ethically indifferent. These achievements are tested on what appears as an extremely powerful economic dogma: the Invisible Hand. Demystifying this, by attacking what is considered its strong point, the idea of ​​a "balance" associated with that of pure and perfect competition, and that of a Pareto-optimality attainable by this equilibrium, assumes all its Meaning if one proposes, against this neutral trial, an ethically structured process.
