This book uncovers the complex interconnections between politics
and finance in the midst of the French Revolution. Charting the
trajectories of members of the financial elite between London,
Paris and Amsterdam, this study reveals the ever-shifting
relationship between market actors and the political world. The
French Revolution paved the way for bankers, especially those
working in international finance, to occupy a new position within
not only the economic framework of the time but also on the
political stage. The profession of banker went through a series of
transitions in its relationship with the political authorities.
These changes affecting the social, economic and political status
of bankers led to increasingly active interactions between politics
and finance that have become a feature of our modern societies.
Using a transnational and interdisciplinary approach, this book
highlights how during the Age of Revolution there emerged a dynamic
which is still present today: the financial world and the sphere of
politics became strongly intermixed while actors from both sides
made efforts to overpower their counterparts. In this way, it
provides an ideal perspective for bridging the gap that has long
separated economic from cultural history in the study of the French
Revolution.
