Full Analysis Summary
Le Monde.fr source limits
I cannot fully produce the article you requested because only one article snippet (Le Monde.fr) was provided.
That snippet does not mention Ricardo Hausmann, does not quote him, and does not discuss AI.
The material available discusses structural limits in equity markets and a bank-centered financing system.
It contains no source attributing the claim 'AI will democratize equity financing' to Hausmann or anyone else.
Therefore everything below strictly summarizes and analyzes only the Le Monde.fr text and explicitly notes that there are no other sources to compare or to support the claim about AI or Hausmann.
Below is the reformatted version provided in the requested structure.
Coverage Differences
Missing other sources
No other sources are available to compare viewpoints or to substantiate the headline claim. Le Monde.fr’s snippet does not quote or report Ricardo Hausmann nor mention AI; therefore no cross-source differences (contradictions, tone differences, or omissions between multiple sources) can be identified.
Equity access for small firms
Le Monde.fr’s snippet explains that, outside a handful of large markets, public equity markets are small or inactive, and very small firms are rarely listed because of poor liquidity and high listing costs.
It emphasizes that stock exchanges suitable for raising equity are largely absent for firms under roughly $10 million in value except in major markets like the US, UK, Canada and Singapore, so public listings are an uncommon option for most small businesses.
Coverage Differences
No cross-source comparison possible (missing sources)
Because only Le Monde.fr is available, we cannot contrast this account with other outlets’ takes (for example, a West Asian source or Western Alternative). Le Monde.fr reports the scarcity of active exchanges and the high costs/liquidity barriers but there are no other provided sources to confirm, dispute or add nuance.
Bank-centered finance limits growth
Le Monde.fr explains why a bank-centered financial system constrains high-growth, risky firms.
In such systems, banks mainly provide debt and lend in proportion to existing equity.
Small firms typically build equity from friends and family or from retained earnings.
This makes it hard to fund businesses that need large upfront investment and can run losses for long periods.
The excerpt cites Amazon and Uber as examples of business models that require equity rather than debt alone.
Coverage Differences
No cross-source comparison possible (missing sources)
Le Monde.fr reports the mechanics (banks lend against equity; small firms have limited equity sources) and gives examples (Amazon, Uber). There are no other provided sources to provide alternative explanations or to report differing examples or emphases.
Article scope and limits
The Le Monde.fr text does not address AI, technology-driven marketmaking, or policy proposals.
From the provided material, it is impossible to support the headline claim that 'AI will democratize equity financing, opening public markets to small firms' or to attribute that claim to economist Ricardo Hausmann.
Le Monde.fr diagnoses structural financing gaps that could create demand for new solutions, but it neither describes AI's role nor reports Hausmann saying so.
Coverage Differences
Omission
The key elements the user requested (quotes or reporting from Ricardo Hausmann; discussion of AI’s role) are omitted from the only provided source. Le Monde.fr reports structural problems (scarcity of exchanges, bank-dominated debt funding), but it does not report on AI or on Hausmann’s views; therefore no source-based corroboration or contradiction of the AI claim is available.
Small firm finance access
Based on Le Monde.fr alone, the supported narrative is that most small firms lack access to public equity because active exchanges are rare and listing is costly.
Banks dominate financing but mainly offer debt, and therefore struggle to fund high-growth, equity-intensive businesses.
To write the requested 4-6 paragraph article that attributes this specific view to Ricardo Hausmann and documents AI-centered solutions, I need additional articles or snippets that actually include Hausmann’s quotes and coverage of AI’s role.
Please provide those sources or grant permission to use additional reporting.

Le Monde.fr supplies diagnosis but not the treatment (AI) or the attributed speaker (Hausmann). Without further sources, cross-source differences, tone comparisons, or evidence for the headline cannot be compiled.
