Gogu Cantacuzino (16/28 martie 1845 - 9/21 decembrie 1898) a fost un fruntaş liberal, jurnalist şi ministru de finanţe.

Biografie

S-a născut la 16/28 martie 1845 la conacul familiei sale de la Râfor, de lângă Ploieşti. A fost strănepotul domnitorului Ştefan Cantacuzino.

Primele studii le-a făcut acasă, după care a urmat cursurile Liceului Sf. Sava din Bucureşti. A urmat apoi o perioadă de studii la Paris (1866-1876) urmând cursurile Facultăţii de Matematică din Paris, timp în care a activat şi în cadrul Uniunii române din Paris.

Întors în ţară în anul 1876, devine secretar general al Ministerului de Finanţe (între 1877-1879). După această perioadă ajunge în poziţia de a dirija monopolurile statului, care includeau producerea şi comercializarea de tutun. În perioada de patru ani, cât timp a răspuns de monopolul tutunului, a crescut suprafeţele cultivate cu tutun, precum şi numărul cultivatorilor care se ocupau cu producerea de plante de tutun, reuşind să crescă astfel semnificativ veniturile statului. A aplicat măsuri eficiente şi în ceea ce priveşte monopolul sării.

Între anii 1883-1888 a fost director al căilor ferate, timp în care a fost decorat cu ordinul rusesc Sfântul Stanislav, clasa a II-a de către ţarul Rusiei, pentru contribuţia pe care a avut-o la încheierea acordului bilateral de comerţ.

Între anii 1888-1898 a fost fost la conducerea publicaţiei Voinţa naţională, perioadă în care a avut printre corespondenţi şi români din Ardeal, ca de exemplu pe I. Rusu Şirianu, directorul Tribunei din Sibiu.

A fost ministru de finanţe pe durata mai multor guverne, prin păstrarea sa în această poziţie confirmându-i-se eficienţa în această funcţie publică.

Suferind de cancer, a murit la 9/21 decembrie 1898 la Bucureşti.

În anul 1904, membri ai Partidului Naţional Liberal din care a făcut parte au decis să îi păstreze memoria prin ridicarea unei statui, amplasată în Parcul Icoanei din Bucureşti. Statuia lui Gogu Cantacuzino e opera sculptorului francez Dubois.
