The rise and fall of Napoleon wasn’t decided on the battlefield — it was decided in the books of one man: Gabriel Julien Ouvrard, the secret banker who financed the French Empire, manipulated Spanish silver, moved money across blockades, and quietly positioned himself to win no matter who ruled Europe.
This episode exposes the hidden financial machinery behind Napoleon’s wars and how a single financier outplayed emperors, kings, and entire nations.
Based on research from The French Economy Under Napoleon (Frankfort), Napoleon: A Life (Andrew Roberts), The Bourbons and the Silver Trade (Goodwin), The Rise of Financial Capitalism (Kindleberger), diplomatic archives of the Continental System, Bank of France records, and Spanish colonial finance documents.
