THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF THE PEACE
THE TIMES.—“Mr. Keynes writes with knowledge; he was himself one of the chief actors in the Conference, and his book is an important political event.... He brings great literary ability, a broad view, a clear grasp of general principles, to bear upon the very complicated matters with which he is occupied, and in his hands these questions of coal, exchange, and reparation can be read with pleasure by the non-technical student.”
THE WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.—“Mr. Keynes has produced a smashing and unanswerable indictment of the economic settlement.”
THE ATHENÆUM.—“This book is a perfectly well-equipped arsenal of facts and arguments, to which every one will resort for years to come who wishes to strike a blow against the forces of prejudice, delusion, and stupidity. It is not easy to make large numbers of men reasonable by a book, yet there are no limits to which, without undue extravagance, we may not hope that the influence of this book may extend.... Never was the case for reasonableness more powerfully put. It is enforced with extraordinary art. What might easily have been a difficult treatise, semi-official or academic, proves to be as fascinating as a good novel.”

A REVISION OF THE TREATY
Being a Sequel to
“The Economic Consequences of the Peace.”
THE SPECTATOR.—“The sequel, like the earlier book, is a brilliant performance regarded as economic argument and compact analysis, and it also has the advantage of dealing in sardonic and sometimes pitiless humour.”
THE NATION.—“We found Mr. Keynes’s second book to be of the same delightful texture as his first; showing a playfully impressive irony, alternating with warning seriousness, and the extraordinary power of economic analysis which has made him the greatest intellectual force in the work of European restoration.”
THE TIMES.—“Mr. Keynes has the gift of interesting his readers in problems that are at once vital and obscure.”
