戦間期イギリス経済政策とケインズ

抄録

The following paraphrases a December 18, 1994 lecture of the late Prof. Tamai. Reviewing recent “revisionist” researches on Keynes's influence on economic policy-making in the interwar-period Britain, the lecturer discussed Keynes as both a policy designer and propagandist from 1919 till his death. In the first and second section of his lecture, Tamai finds peculiar “patriot” traits in Keynes's policy proposal for international economic problems as well as for European security problems in this period. Next, Tamai explains the complicated relationship between Keynes and the formation and modification of the “Treasury View.” Further Keynes's proposal against the depression and his commitment to wartime financing are also discussed. Although the lecturer does not directly answer to question of whether the “Keynesian Revolution in economic policy” existed. In reality, the penetration of the Keynesian idea proceeded gradually under the urgent political climate between 1929 and 1945.
