John Maynard Keynes, then a rising young economist, participated in
the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 as chief representative of the
British Treasury and advisor to Prime Minister David Lloyd George.
He resigned after desperately trying and failing to reduce the huge
demands for reparations being made on Germany. The Economic
Consequences of the Peace is Keynes' brilliant and prophetic
analysis of the effects that the peace treaty would have both on
Germany and, even more fatefully, the world. A popular lecturer of
economics at Cambridge University and editor of the Economic
Journal, Keynes made The Economic Consequences of the Peace a major
step in his career. It was translated into a dozen languages and
sold 100,000 copies in six months. Taken seriously even by those
who were opposed to his claims, the book helped lift economics to a
new, higher level of recognition and acceptance. This volume, with
its insightful portraits of Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau, and
Woodrow Wilson, remains one of the great works of political economy
of our time. In a penetrating introduction written for this new
edition, David Felix explores Keynes' reasons for writing the book,
analyzes the author's arguments, and paints an historical backdrop
of the period during which it was written.
