John Maynard Keynes, Volume 1The culmination of these efforts was his famous anti-inflationist tract, How to Pay for the War, whose logic, and supporting national income accounts, was accepted as the basis of Kingsley Wood's budget of 1941. For the rest of his life Keynes was involved in difficult financial negotiations with the United States, first to establish conditions of American help to Britain, then to devise a postwar financial system that satisfied American requirements without sacrificing Britain's interests, and finally, and most traumatically, to get Britain a loan to tide it over the first postwar years. When he died in 1946, Lionel Robbins wrote, "He gave his life for his country, as surely as if he had fallen on the field of battle." |
