«O banqueiro anarquista» is the satirical and philosophical short story by Fernando Pessoa, published by Ulmeiro (55 pages, in Portuguese).
A banker argues, with ironic logic, that he is the only authentic anarchist: he has freed himself from social conventions by accumulating capital. He explains how, from a young age, he kept resolving contradictions until he formulated his «anarchist's technique»: working toward a common end, but separately, so as not to succumb to social pressure.
Originally published in 1922, this short story by Fernando Pessoa belongs to Portuguese literature; the Ulmeiro edition dates from 1994.
For readers of Portuguese literature and philosophical fiction, interested in a brief satire on money and individual freedom.
