Description
Summary:	This paper aims at bringing out Keynes's political stance through his approach to the relief problem in the 1940s. Our documentation reveals that he made great efforts to reconstruct the postwar world, drawing up an elaborate design and maintaining the British Empire's position - somehow or other - on an equal footing with the US.
