Economic frontiers were tolerable so long as an immense territory was included in a few great empires; but they will not be tolerable when the empires of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Turkey have been partitioned between some twenty independent authorities.

The enemy had laid down his arms in reliance on a solemn compact as to the general character of the peace, the terms of which seemed to assure a settlement of justice and magnanimity and a fair hope for a restoration of the broken current of life.
He had gathered round him for the economic chapters of the treaty a very able group of businessmen; but they were inexperienced in public affairs, and knew (with one or two exceptions) as little of Europe as he did, and they were only called in irregularly as he might need them for a particular purpose.

 Thorstein Veblen / Review of The Economic Consequences of the Peace by John Maynard Keynes
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.
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.
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.

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.
THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF PEACE, first published in 1919, achieved great notoriety due of its contemptuous critique of the French premier as well as President Woodrow Wilson.
At the time, few world and economic leaders appreciated his criticisms as Keynes saw his worst fears realized in the rise of Adolf Hitler and the resulting devastation of World War II.

The peace documented itself is worthy of study, as it laid the foundation for the variously productive and unproductive fragmentation of Central Europe, and notably Germany.
The peace document itself is no small example of intellectual minds at work, but the emphasis of the 11th Heilbronn symposion in Economics and the Social Sciences is an investigation in the consequences of the peace established in 1648 for the history of economic ideas.

A final economic concern is the impact of the war on overall economic activity.
Perhaps the administration is fearful that a candid discussion of wartime economics will give ammunition to skeptics of the war; perhaps it worries that acknowledging the costs will endanger the large future tax cuts, which are the centerpiece of its domestic policy.
From an economic point of view, unilateral actions imply that the costs will be largely borne by the United States.

For Keynes, the Peace Treaty of Paris after World War I was a matter of life and death, of starvation and existence, and the fearful convulsions of a dying civilization.
Clemenceau wanted a Carthaginian peace, President Wilson was essentially a theologian and Lloyd George yielded to national electoral chicane.
He clearly recognized the danger of `a victory of reaction' (the right) in Germany, because it would endanger the security of Europe and the basis of peace.

Disgusted with the harshly punitive and unrealistic provisions of the Versailles Treaty, as well as the political chicanery and general incompetence of the chief participants, he published The Economic Consequences of the Peace in 1919.
Though he agrees in principle that a marketplace of free individuals pursuing their own self-interest without government interference has a better chance of improving society’s economic situation than socialist alternatives, he suggests that government can play a constructive role in protecting individuals from the worst harms of capitalism’s cycles, especially as concerns unemployment.
Other useful government functions are the dissemination of information relating to business conditions, encouraging savings and investment along “nationally productive channels,” and forming a national policy about the size of population.

"Very few of us realise with conviction the intensely unreliable, temporary nature of the economic organisation by which Western Europe has lived for the last half century," wrote Keynes in the introduction to The Economic Consequences of the Peace in 1920.
In his discussion of the changing climate of Europe over the course of the war, Keynes criticizes the Treaty of Versailles, explaining it does not offer a solution to financial rehabilitation for individual countries and for the Allies as a group.
