...hermit reddened with anger. "I have money to pay for what I need. You have to sell it to me." Not so, retorted the grocer: the King must register. "I'll sign for nothing," shouted the King.

As in the case of the Beveridge Plan for social security, Britain has laid down the first proposal. And again Britain drew on her top-drawer talent. Economist Keynes first made his reputation in 1920 with his devastating criticism of the Versailles Treaty-The Economic Consequences of the Peace.
