This is a history of public finances during the Restoration and of the establishment of public credit in France. The author was born in Bellay, around 1760, and died in Strasbourg in 1846. He started his career with a trading company in Lyon, and after that went to work for the house of Delessert in Paris. He founded himself a trading company but with little success. He became regent of the Banque de France, member of the Chamber of Commerce of Paris and one of the editors of the Code de Commerce. In 1819, he established the world's first school of management, a kind of business school providing special instruction for young people who had finished their academic studies and intended to pursue a career in commerce and industry. Roux's school, the École Supérieure de Commerce de Paris, still exists today as the ESCP-EAP "European School of Management", with branches in Paris, Oxford, Madrid and Berlin. - A very nice copy with ample margins. ‎
