This recently recovered and released paper by Donald J Markwell of
the Reserve Bank of Australia was presented at a seminar at the
Reserve Bank of Australia in September 1985. The paper discusses
John Maynard Keynes's dealings with Australian government officials
mainly during the period between World War I and World War II, a time
of great "economic and social turmoil." The paper covers five main
topics including the early impact of Keynesian economics in
Australia, Keynes and the Australian Prime Minister, William Morris
Hughes's views of the demands against Germany after the Great War,
and the influence of Keynes in Australia's handling of its economic
Depression. Albeit fifteen years old, this paper's conclusions are
still quite relevant amd topical today. [EM]
