In Our TimeThe Economic Consequences of the PeaceIn an extended version of the programme that was broadcast, Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the influential book John Maynard Keynes wrote in 1919 after he resigned in protest from his role at the Paris Peace Conference. There the victors of World War One were deciding the fate of the defeated, especially Germany and Austria-Hungary, and Keynes wanted the world to know his view that the economic consequences would be disastrous for all.

Peace In Their TimeEpisode 124 - GoldbugsAt first it looked like the Great Depression would be just another run of the mill recession. But the bubble that was the US economy popped right at the same time much of Europe was entering a general fiscal crisis, which in turn undermined the Gold Standard system most nations were a part of.

Gresham College LecturesEurope's Search for Sustainable SecurityAfter the ravages of the First World War there was a widespread desire for 'sustainable security’.
