Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is one of the best pieces of political polemic ever written - and a trulyfabulous "i quit" letter. Jm keynes was a rising young economist when he accompanied prime minister lloyd george in 1919 to the versailles peace conference as his economic adviser. He found himself increasingly appalled by the proceedings - the punitive terms being forced on germany, which were both bad faith and worse politics, virtually destroying prospects for future european prosperity or peace. So he resigned first, and wrote this brilliant book, which features portraits-in-acid of george, clemenceau and the hapless president wilson and a laser-sharp analysis of the prescription- for-disaster that the heavy german reparations representeed. No more prescient piece of economic writing has ever been written, and political economists rightly rank this book with malthus's treatise on population and the communist manifesto as influential document.
