HadriantheBlind | Mar 30, 2013 |   "Every essay is readable and compelling. This volume spans the aftermath of the First World War and his assault on the Versailles Treaty and the damage it was going to cause – as it did, because in humiliating Germany it led, arguably, to Germany choosing Adolf Hitler – right through to the 1920s and 30s and the arguments over the gold standard, through some of the essays he wrote in preparation for his General Theory, right to his writing on how to pay for the Second World War.” The full interview is available here: http://five-books.com/interviews/Peter-Kellner (  )  FiveBooks | Mar 25, 2010 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Most of the essays in this book were first collected together in October 1931, immediately after Britain had left the gold standard. They reflected Keynes's attempts over the previous dozen years to influence public opinion and policy over the Treaty of Versailles, over which he had resigned from the Treasury in June 1919, reparations and inter-allied war debts, stabilisation policy, the gold standard and the shape of liberal politics in Britain. In 1972 the essays were reprinted with the full texts of the pamphlets - Can Lloyd George Do It?, The Economic Consequences of Mr Churchill, A Short View of Russia and The End of Laissez Faire. At that time, the full texts of his two post-1931 pamphlets - The Means to Prosperity and How to Pay for the War - were added. The book contains examples of Keynes's finest writing on economic policy and politics. This edition includes an introduction by Donald Moggridge. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Although these positions are now some eighty years old, it is remarkable to see how many of them hold up - most notably, criticism of austerity after the Great Depression. If people are more inclined to save, then less money is spent. The less money is spent, the less products and services are demanded. Not to mention social nets and massive economic losses for the unemployed. (
