Now legendary British economic theorist Keynes ((1883-1946) wrote Economic Consequences of the Peace in 1919, objecting to the punitive measures enacted against Germany in the recent Paris Peace Conference, to which he was the principle representative of the British treasury. The End of Laissez-Faire is based on his Sidney Ball Lecture at Cambridge University, and was published as a pamphlet in 1926. There is no index or bibliography.
