Jacques Necker (1732-1804) was a politician from Geneva and was the Finance minister of Louis XVI.
This book was published in response to the speech of Charles Calonne (1734-1802, Minister and inspector General of Finance of Louis XVI between 1783 and 1787), who accused Necker of having published false informations in his report to the king.
