Summary/Abstract: In the paper I argue that the source of unrests which torment Europe is the crisis of agency. Referring to Alain Tourain and Joseph E. Stiglitz I try to show that one of the most important sources of crisis of agency are economic disparities and financial capitalism. I also argue that the remedy for the crisis of agency are actions that aim at bringing back the agency to as many actors as possible.
