The Economic Consequences of the Peace. First edition, with the bookplate of Keynes's biographer Robert Skidelsky, who called this "one of the most influential books of the twentieth century" (Skidelsky, p. 384). The Economic Consequences of the Peace is a searing indictment of the Treaty of Versailles, which it presents as fundamentally unjust and threatening the peace and security of Europe.Skidelsky (1939-2026) was a prominent British economic historian, and a member of the House of Lords from 1991. His three-volume biography of Keynes, published from 1983 to 2000, is regarded as the definitive study of the economist's life and work.
