Abstract

The article examines in detail part of the debates held in the Finance Standing Committee of the Council of State, in the 1850-70 period.  In particular, it is centred on the resolutions in response to requests pertaining to the monetary and banking sphere.  It emerges that, following the pattern observed by authors who have studied the Council of State, the Finance Standing Committee largely based its resolutions on strictly technical grounds, while upholding what it reckoned were the interests of the Imperial State.
