  Jacques Laffitte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacques Laffitte (October 24, 1767–May 26, 1844), was a French banker and politician.
Laffitte himself became regent (1809), then governor (1814) of the Bank of France and president of the Chamber of Commerce (1814).
In 1818 Laffitte saved Paris from financial crisis by buying a large amount of stock, but the following year, as a result of his vigorous defence of the liberty of the press and the electoral law of 1867, he lost the governorship of the Bank.

On the 5th of November, accordingly, Laffitte became minister-president of a government pledged to progress (mouvement), holding at the same time the portfolio of finance.
The government was torn between the necessity for preserving order and the no less pressing necessity (for the moment) of conciliating the Parisian populace; with the result that it succeeded in doing neither one nor the other.
Thereupon, in March 1831, Laffitte resigned, begging pardon of God and man for the part he had played in raising Louis Philippe to the throne.

He became president of the chamber of deputies, and sat for a few months in the cabinet, though without a portfolio.
On the fall of the weak and discredited ministry of Jacques Laffitte, Casimir Périer, who had drifted more and more to the Right, was summoned to power (March 13, 1831), and in the short space of a year he restored civic order in France and re-established her credit in Europe.
Paris was in a constant state of disturbance from March to September, and was only held in check by the premier's determination; the workmen's revolt at Lyon was suppressed after hard fighting; and at Grenoble, in face of the quarrels between the military and the inhabitants, Périer declined to make any concession to the townsfolk.
