Keynes's warning about treaty damage to British industry

John Maynard Keynes is identified as a contemporary British critic of the Washington settlement's industrial damage.

Notes

John Maynard Keynes is identified when the discussion turns to British critics of the Washington settlement's damage to domestic industry. Keynes wrote extensively about the harm done to the United Kingdom. The industrial objection therefore belonged to the contemporary debate rather than later hindsight. Naval disarmament was an economic and shipbuilding decision as well as a diplomatic one.
