Commentary


Jacques Necker (30 septembre 1732 à Genève - 9 avril 1804 à Coppet en Suisse) est un financier et homme politique genevois, ministre des Finances de Louis XVI. Il est le père de Madame de Staël.
Après avoir fait fortune comme banquier à Paris et à la suite du succès de ses essais en matière de politique économique, il est nommé par Louis XVI directeur général du Trésor royal en 1776, puis des Finances. Il modernise alors l’organisation économique du royaume en s’opposant au libéralisme de ses prédécesseurs. Renvoyé en mai 1781, peu avant les grandes spéculations boursières sous Louis XVI, il est rappelé en août 1788 avec le titre de ministre d’État du fait du soutien indéfectible de l’opinion publique, et convoque les États généraux en obtenant le doublement du tiers état. Renvoyé par Louis XVI le 8 juillet 1789 pour avoir été absent lors de la séance royale du 23 juin 1789, il retrouve sa fonction après la prise de la Bastille pour apaiser les révolutionnaires. Confronté à l'opposition de l'Assemblée nationale, il démissionne de nouveau en septembre 1790 et rédige une critique sévère du nouveau principe d'égalité.
Jacques Necker (September 30, 1732 in Geneva - April 9, 1804 in Coppet, Switzerland) was a Genevan financier and politician, Minister of Finance under Louis XVI. He was the father of Madame de Staël. After making his fortune as a banker in Paris and following the success of his essays on economic policy, he was appointed by Louis XVI as Director General of the Royal Treasury in 1776, then Director of Finance. He then modernized the economic organization of the kingdom by opposing the liberalism of his predecessors. Dismissed in May 1781, shortly before the great stock market speculations under Louis XVI, he was recalled in August 1788 with the title of Minister of State due to the unwavering support of public opinion, and convened the Estates General, obtaining the doubling of the Third Estate. Dismissed by Louis XVI on July 8, 1789 for having been absent from the royal session of June 23, 1789, he returned to his post after the storming of the Bastille to appease the revolutionaries. Faced with opposition from the National Assembly, he resigned again in September 1790 and wrote a severe critique of the new principle of equality.

Historical background


LOUIS XVI

(05/10/1774-01/21/1793)

The Girondin ministry, formed on March 23, 1792, declared war on April 20 on the King of Bohemia and Hungary, Leopold II. Rouget de Lisle composes the Marseillaise on April 25th. The Fatherland is declared "in danger" on July 11. The Parisians and the Marseillais take the Tuileries and massacre the defenders of the castle, Swiss and noble, the king and his family take refuge near the Assembly. Louis XVI was stripped of his functions and interned in the Temple on August 12. In early September, massacres took place in Parisian prisons, including the Carmelites, and claimed thousands of victims, including the Princess of Lamballe, Marie-Antoinette's friend. Dumouriez and Kellermann won the victory of Valmy over the Prussians on September 20, 1792. The news was quickly known thanks to Chappe's telegraph. The following day, the republic was proclaimed and royalty abolished at the first meeting of the Convention. Dumouriez defeated the Austrians at Jemmapes on November 6 and occupied Brussels. The King's trial begins on December 10. On January 17, he was sentenced to death by a majority vote and was guillotined on January 21, 1793..
