The Economic Consequences of the Peace

New York: Harcourt, Brace and Howe, 1920. First American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good / No Jacket. Item #2354111

First American edition. Lacks scarce jacket. A couple minor spots to spine, minor damage to edges of free endpapers, review article reprinted from The Bookman April 1920 laid in. Binding tight and square, text clean and unmarked.

298 pp. Blue cloth, gilt titles and rules. The book that gained Keynes his reputation as an economic theorist. Written in reaction to the peace established following World War I, the alternative for which it argues bears resemblances to the post-World War II Marshall Plan. It mainly argues that the peace treaty in place prevents Europe's future prosperity, and conflicts with the Armistice Agreement.
