Lionel Guy Stoléru (22 November 1937 – 30 November 2016) was a French politician and civil servant. He was also an orchestra founder and conductor.[1]

Of Romanian and Jewish origin, Stoléru was born in Nantes and attended the Ecole Polytechnique, where he studied to be a mining engineer and graduated in 1956.[2] He continued his studies at the Ecole des Mines de Paris, and also did graduate studies at Stanford University in the US, earning a doctorate in economics[1] with Kenneth Arrow.

From 1963 to 1965, Stoléru was a mining engineer in the Douai arrondissement. He was an academic at the Ecole Polytechnique (Paris), and later at the Ecole des Mines de Paris, between 1969 and 1988. He also served in the cabinet of French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing as an economic advisor, beginning in 1969. He subsequently held several administrative posts in several French governments:

  • Secrétaire d'État chargé de la condition des travailleurs manuels (1974–1978)
  • Secrétaire d'État chargé des travailleurs manuels et immigrés (1978–1981)
  • Secrétaire d'État auprès du Premier ministre, chargé du Plan (1988–1991)

His published works included:

  • L'Impératif industriel (1968)
  • Vaincre la pauvreté dans les pays riches (1974)
  • La France à deux vitesses (1982)
  • L'Alternance tranquille (1985)
  • L'Ambition internationale (1987)
  • L'Économie (1999)
  • Une écoute du romantisme (2011)

Stoléru learned the piano in his early years. In 1988, he formed the Orchestre Romantique Européen (ORE), and remained affiliated with the ORE until its disbandment in 2013.[1] He was named a Commander of the Legion of Honour in December 2015.

Stoléru and his wife Francine Wolff, who died in 2009, had one daughter, Emmanuelle.[2]
