Laffitte, Jacques
(1767-1844)
   banker, political figure
   Born in Bayonne, Jacques Laffitte began his career in the employ of the banker jean Frédéric, count of perréguax (1788) and later became his associate (1800), then his successor (1804). Regent of the Bank of France (1809), he was named its governor by the provisional government (1814). A member of the Chamber of Representatives during the hundred days, he served there as a liberal deputy (1816, 1817). In 1830, he financed the opposition newspaper Le National, and his home was one of the principal meeting places for the planned uprising of 1830. A representative of the liberal parti du Mouvement, he was called by King louis-philippe to be minister without portfolio, then minister of finances, then premier (1830). Laffitte proposed a policy of expediency in domestic affairs and one of boldness in foreign matters, and favored intervention in support of the European revolutions (italy, Poland), but was thwarted in his plans and was forced to resign in 1831.
