The economic consequences of the peace.
London.
Macmillan and Co., 1920.
Second edition.
8vo.
[8], 279pp, [1]. With half-title. Original publisher's blue cloth, ruled in gilt and blind. Lightly rubbed. Internally clean and crisp.
The second edition, issued the year after the first, of a vital work of post-war economics by John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) who made many significant contributions to economic theory, including as the 'father of macroeconomics', the school of thought which bears his name.
Keynes worked for the British Treasury during the First World War, exempt from active service as a conscientious objector though contingent on his continuing government work. In 1919 he resigned in protest at the high reparations demanded from Germany in the Treaty of Versailles - this seminal work was written in response to the treaty, and correctly predicts the human cost of financial subjugation a generation later.
