| "The book presents the life and achievements of Louis Wolowski (1810-1876). He was born in Warsaw in a family of frankists (Jews, disciples of Jacob Frank, converted to Catholicism), which had an important impact on his life. He took part in the Polish insurrection of 1830-1831 and settled later in France. One of the most important Polish personalities in Paris, he never dreamed about returning to Poland: France became his second homeland. He specialized in political economy. At the age of 29, he became a professor of political economy at the prestigious Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers and a member of the Academy in 1855. In 1852 Wolowski founded Crédit Foncier, one of the most important French banks. He took part int French and European banking revolution of the second half of the XIX century. Wolowski was also a French politician. He was a deputy and since 1875, a life senator. He represented the liberal center of the French political scene, a crucial group for the final establishment of the Republic in France. Understanding Wolowski and his life therefore helps to understand better the political and economic history of France and Poland between 1830 and 1876"-- |
