----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- [From the Scout Report for Business and Economics. -- RBE] "Keynes and Australia" [.pdf] http://www.rba.gov.au/rdp/rdp2000-04.pdf 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.
