He portrays Napoleon as recognizing that political sovereignty was incomplete if governments remained dependent upon private financiers and creditors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Wilson’s interpretation, Napoleon sought to construct a political and economic order in which \u003cstrong\u003efinance served the productive economy and the state rather than controlling them\u003c\/strong\u003e. Napoleon's administrative reforms, public works, financial policies, and efforts to stabilize post-Revolutionary France are therefore presented as parts of a larger attempt to create prosperity and social order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilson calls the opposing force the \u003cstrong\u003e“Money Power”\u003c\/strong\u003e—his term for the concentration of financial power among bankers, creditors, moneylenders, and other private financial interests capable of influencing governments through their control of credit. The book's contemporary dust-jacket description characterized it as a study of Napoleon's struggle against this “Money Power” and his attempt to establish a new economic regime of greater abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Obscure Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45764321280086,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/1031\/1254\/files\/Frontcover_a79c90f1-6d95-4577-9b5f-32dae2078763.jpg?v=1789433421","url":"https:\/\/obscurebooks.myshopify.com\/products\/the-mind-of-napoleon-a-study-of-napoleon-mr-roosevelt-and-the-money-power-by-r-mcnair-wilson","provider":"Obscure Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
