Uma Elite Financeira - Os Corpos Sociais do Banco de Portugal 1846-1914

Jaime Reis

This publication gathers the biographies of all the 190 leading figures who were members of the management of Banco de Portugal from 1846 to 1914. It is targeted at experts or merely interested readers. The biographies gathered here are often rather surprising. In addition to the naturally expected financial and business expertise, it covers some adventurous episodes and reveals personalities with unsuspected and unexpected success in a number of areas, such as the artistic, social, political, cultural, military or charity fields.
