“In the long run we are all dead.”
Keynes, A Tract on Monetary Reform, 1923
Keynes resigned from the British delegation at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 and wrote The Economic Consequences of the Peace, arguing that the reparations imposed on Germany were unpayable and would poison the continent. He was right. The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, published in 1936 during the Depression, argued that economies can settle at high unemployment and stay there, and that governments should spend to make up the shortfall in demand. He was a Bloomsbury figure, married the ballerina Lydia Lopokova, collected Newton's alchemical papers, and led the British side at Bretton Woods in 1944, losing most of the arguments to the Americans while shaping the result.
