Keynes's Economic Consequences of the Peace A Reappraisal

By Jens Hölscher Copyright 2015

    Published just months after the Versailles Treaty was signed, The Economic Consequences of the Peace is a devastating critique of allied leaders and the reparations imposed on Germany and Austria in the aftermath of WWI. These essays assess the importance of Keynes’s book, both historically and in its relevance for the challenges we face today.
