There's a chapter in The History of Central Banking about Napoleon. Supposedly he got rid of (((central banking))) and created a stable government managed currency. The French prospered under this.

For all of his great achievements, Napoleon also committed a grave error. He lifted all of the Medieval-era restrictions on the Jews, which enabled them to leave the confinement of their ghettos and conduct business openly. The Jews lost no time in spreading chaos across Europe. Napoleon set into motion the catastrophe that we are dealing with now.
