	Louis Renault (industrialist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The youngest of five children born into a Paris bougeois family, Renault was fascinated by engineering and mechanics from a very early age, and spent many hours in the Serpollet steam car workshop or tinkering with old Panhard engines in the tool shed of the family's second home in Billancourt.
		Over the next forty years Renault remained in complete control of his company, dealing with its rapid expansion and various cases of labour unrest while designing several new inventions, most of which are still in use today, such as hydraulic shock absorbers, the modern drum brake, compressed gas ignition, the turbocharger, and the taximeter.
		During the Nazi occupation of France during the Second World War, the Renault company (like all French companies) was put under the total control of the Germans, and Louis chose to remain.

		Thus, Camus argues, the peasant who has hoarded riches unjustly taken from others in the wartime fl market must be returned to virtuous poverty by having his ill-gotten wealth confiscated through the issuance of new currency.
