The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes: Volume 2, The Economic Consequences of the Peace

John Maynard Keynes, then a rising young economist, participated in the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 as chief representative of the British Treasury and advisor to Prime Minister David Lloyd George. He resigned after desperately trying and failing to reduce the huge demands for reparations being made on Germany. The Economic Consequences of the Peace is Keynes' brilliant and prophetic analysis of the effects that the peace treaty would have both on Germany and, even more fatefully, the world.Keynes, John Maynard is the author of 'The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes: Volume 2, The Economic Consequences of the Peace', published 1978 under ISBN 9780521220941 and ISBN 0521220947.
