[Of interest: La société générale, 1822-1992. Jo Cottenier, Patrick De Boosere et Thomas Gounet. It is a particular case study on the Société Générale, which Mandel described as:
Belgium’s most important capitalist grouping since its independence in 1830. Originally organized in the form of a merchant bank, the Société Générale was a forerunner of “finance capital”, which became general in other capitalist countries only in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. This resulted from the Société’s early possession of controlling interests in many joint stock companies, especially in coal and steel. Later it controlled the famous Union Minière du Haut Katanga, as well as other companies in the Congo.]
