Antoine Pinay, 102, the prime minister and finance minister who tamed France's postwar inflation, died Tuesday at his home in Saint-Chamond in central France. Short, stooped and always wearing a battered hat, he was a popular provincial pragmatist who disdained economic theory. He is synonymous in France with anti-inflationary policies. His solution: "We shouldn't spend more than we earn."
