JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES: The Economic Consequences of the Peace FULL Audiobook - The Economic Consequences of the Peace (1919) is a book written and published by John Maynard Keynes. Keynes attended the Versailles Conference as a delegate of the British Treasury and argued for a much more generous peace. It was a bestseller throughout the world and was critical in establishing a general opinion that the Versailles Treaty was a "Carthaginian peace". It helped to consolidate American public opinion against the treaty and involvement in the League of Nations. The perception by much of the British public that Germany had been treated unfairly in turn was a crucial factor in public support for appeasement. The success of the book established Keynes' reputation as a leading economist especially on the left. When Keynes was a key player in establishing the Bretton Woods system in 1944, he remembered the lessons from Versailles as well as the Great Depression. The Marshall Plan after Second World War is a similar system to that proposed by Keynes in The Economic Consequences of the Peace. The book was released in late 1919 and became an immediate bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic: it was released in the US in 1920. The scathing sketches of Wilson, Lloyd George and Clemenceau proved to be very popular and the work established Keynes' reputation with the public as a leading economist. In six months, the book had sold 100,000 copies with translations into 12 languages. It restored Keynes' reputation with the Bloomsbury Group which had been tarnished by his work for the treasury during the war. Keynes returned to Cambridge to work as an economist where he was regarded as the leading student of Alfred Marshall.(summary adapted from wikipedia.org - Attribution: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Economic_Consequences_of_the_Peace&action=history) - SUBSCRIBE to Greatest Audio Books: http://www.youtube.com/GreatestAudioBooks - Become a FRIEND: Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/GreatestAudioBooks Google+: - READ along by clicking (CC) for Closed Caption Transcript! - LISTEN to the entire audiobook for free!

Apparently they haven't completely mastered the spelling of 'consequences' yet on the cover.

Can anyone casually tossing around opinions on Keynesian economics and its shortcomings offer me a basic summary of his arguments? I suspect not one critic posting comments has read anything he wrote... I have suffered through The General Theory, found it largely unreadable, but carefully argued and subtle. He does not make the bold pronouncements and dogmatic proscriptions often attributed to him. Very little of whats been done in his name would meet w/ his approval.

Keynes' reputation has suffered during the past 10-15 yrs, perhaps rightly. But his vision regarding a lasting European peace (which proved correct, but was ignored) and his work in the General Theory (partially correct, intentionally misinterpreted) only prove that men like Keynes, and the profession of economics in general, are used by those in power when it suits them and ignored when inconvenient.

Keynesianism has been tried everywhere, and has failed everywhere. If any of it were true, someone would have gotten it right accidentally by now. Its problem is that it has been applied exactly as it was intended. You probably make such ridiculous apologies for socialism as well.

People misapplying principles are responsible for the problems.

So true, my friend!

The book that single-handedly ruined western civilization.
The growing mass of people who occupied the seventh of the earth's land surface is controlled by the most violent, the most corrupt and ineffective government most of all who call themselves civilized. It is preferred to "fed" human bodies rather than brains. But contained a huge army. A tiny part of the people living in luxury, being enriched at the expense of illegal operations with foreign capital, or private ownership of natural resources are inexhaustible. Behind the facade of this world class professional revolutionaries worked, brought up the idea of the game life and destiny - their own and other people.
Russian Slavic genius showed itself poorly suited to modern business and entrepreneurship in the framework of an increasingly complex economy the industrial world ...Снижение рождаемости и высокой смертности детей и пожилых людей в тяжелых условиях может вызывать долгосрочные положительное влияние на рынок труда. Растущая масса людей, которые занимали седьмую поверхности суши Земли управляется самым жестоким, самым коррумпированным и неэффективным правительством большинстве все, кто называют себя цивилизованными. Предпочтительно, чтобы "кормили" человеческих тел, а не мозги. Но содержал огромную армию. Крошечная часть людей, живущих в роскоши, обогащаясь за счет незаконных операций с иностранным капиталом, или частной собственности природных ресурсов неисчерпаемы. За фасадом этого мирового класса профессиональные революционеры работал, воспитал идею жизни и судьбе игры - их собственных и других людей. Русский славянский гений показал себя плохо подходит для современного бизнеса и предпринимательства в рамках более сложной экономики индустриального мира ...
