As the most important figures in the history of economics, the work of John Maynard Keynes is nearly without precedent in the history of economics.

OF INTEREST TO: readers of 20th-century history, students of economics I do not admit error in having based The Economic Consequences of the Peace on a literal interpretation of the Treaty of Versailles, or in having examined the results of actually carrying it out.

On the other hand, a man may rationally believe a proposition to be proba...
