President of France 1974-81.
Valery Giscard D'Estaing was born in "Koblenz, Germany and educated at the Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Nationale d'Administration. He began his career in 1952 in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs, where he served as assistant director of the minister's staff. Elected to the National Assembly in 1956 and reelected in 1958, Giscard was appointed secretary of state for finance under Charles de Gaulle in 1959. (T)hree years later, he became minister of finance. His economic program lowered the rate of inflation but was also the cause of a brief recession, and he was dismissed in 1966. Shortly thereafter, he was returned to the National Assembly. In 1969 Giscard joined the government of President Georges Pompidou as minister of finance and economic affairs, imposing strict economic controls. After Pompidou died in April 1974, Giscard was narrowly elected president of France as an Independent Republican. He was inaugurated on May 27, 1974
Giscard was a proponent of closer economic and political ties among European nations and soon established personal contacts with other world leaders. He also made a strong effort to improve France's recession-bound economy. In I976 he outlined a wide-ranging program that included reforms designed to revitalize the economy. He could not, however, halt the economic deterioration and social unrest caused by a worldwide recession, and he was defeated in the 1981 election. He remained active in politics and in 1988 was elected president of the Union for French Democracy, a coalition party founded in 1978."
