Going back for generations, the fortunes of great families consist of far more than money-they are also symbols of culture and social interaction. They are at the heart of dense family and extra-family networks, of international coalitions and divisions. The authors elucidate the machinery of accumulation and the paradoxically quasi-collective nature of private fortunes.

This review is from: Grand Fortunes. Dynasties and Forms of Wealth in France (Paperback)
This book contains only a description of the different forms of personal wealth in France, like real estate (urban and rural) or financial wealth.It doesn't give names. It neither constitutes an investigation of existing financial structures (holdings, investment banks, controlling shareholdings ...) Too theoretical.
