Economic Consequences of the Peace, The by John Maynard Keynes (1883 - 1946)

This LibriVox recording presents John Maynard Keynes's 1919 book The Economic Consequences of the Peace. Keynes attended the Versailles Conference as a British Treasury delegate and argued for a more generous peace with Germany, criticizing the treaty as brutal and unfair. The book became a worldwide bestseller, helped turn American public opinion against the treaty and the League of Nations, and contributed to British support for appeasement. Its success established Keynes's reputation as a leading economist, especially on the left.
