Michel Goudchaux (18 March 1797 – 27 December 1862) was a French banker and politician who was twice Minister of Finance during the French Second Republic. A firm Republican, he refused to accept the government of Napoleon III. ==Early years== Michel Goudchaux was born in Nancy, Meurthe, on 18 March 1797, son of Gerson-Jacob Goudchaux, a Jewish banker. At an early age he became interested in mathematics, and planned an academic career. However, when his father died, Michel and his two brothers continued the business, which was profitable although never large. In 1825 he moved to Paris to represent the bank, and there became involved in Liberal opposition circles. Early in 1830 he was one of the founders of ''Le National'', a paper that attacked the regime of Charles X of France. He was injured on a barricade in the July Revolution of 1830. After the revolution Goudchaux became a supporter of King Louis-Philippe. For a period he was general counsel of the Seine, and then paymaster-general of the Army in Strasbourg. In 1834 he left office after publicly criticizing the government's financial management in three brochures. Back in Paris he resumed his banking career, and invested most of his fortune in the railways. Writing in ''Le National'' he criticized the government's policy with the railways and with the Bank of France. Goudchaux was the brother-in-law of Hypolite Worms, a large-scale coal merchant and founder of Worms & Cie, of the Jewish merchant family of Sarrelouis. He was in favor of free enterprise and competition. In 1847, as banker to an association of producer cooperatives, he made it clear that the members would be expected to compete with each other. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michel Goudchaux」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
