From the Paper:

"In our histories and those of the other four major powers negotiating, France, Great Britain, Spain and of course Germany the very deepest roots of the "Great Depression," are to be found. In his book, "The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920," the renowned English Economist John Maynard Keynes sums the issue quite concisely by relating the speech of the German Count Brockdorff-Rantzau to the assembled Peace Conference of the Allied and Associated Powers. The Count had been charged with assembling a study of the effects of the conditions of the Peace on the situation of the German Population."
