| Tiivistelmä: | This article is an answer to S. D. Chapman, who wrote that English bankers were integrated into aristocratic circles. The answer argues that the analysis of the City cannot be limited to a few merchant banks and shows that it was dominated by a group of private bankers, merchants and merchant bankers who combined economic power, social status and political influence, and that on the basis of all the social indicators, in particular education and marriages, this City aristocracy was strongly integrated into the landed aristocracy. |
