About this book

The book has an active table of contents to access each chapter of the book.Thorstein Veblen, one of the great American economists, has the following key views for the book The Economic Consequences of the Peace written by British economists John Keynes:1. Instead of its having brought a settlement of the world's peace, the Treaty (together with the League) has already shown itself to be nothing better than a screen of diplomatic verbiage behind which the Elder Statesmen of the Great Powers continue their pursuit of political chicane and imperialistic aggrandisement.2. His discussion, accordingly, is a faithful and exceptionally intelligent commentary on the language of the Treaty, rather than the consequences which were designed to follow from it or the uses to which it is lending itself.3. Absentee ownership, accordingly, is the foundation of law and order, according to that scheme of law and order which has been handed down out of the past in all the civilized nations, and to the perpetuation of which the Elder Statesmen are committed by native bent and by the duties of office.The book Review of John Maynard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace is for the readers who are interested in knowing Veblen’s thoughts for the book The Economic Consequences of the Peace.
