Why was Keynes not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after writing The Economic Consequences of the Peace?*
梳理了凯恩斯因批评凡尔赛和约而三次被提名诺贝尔和平奖的过程,并基于评审报告推测其最终未获奖的原因。
Abstract John Maynard Keynes became famous with The Economic Consequences of the Peace published in 1919, a harsh critique of the Versailles peace treaty. As a consequence, Keynes was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922, 1923, and 1924, and evaluated in advisory reports for the Nobel Committee of the Norwegian parliament. This paper summarizes these appreciative reports. The appraiser even informed Keynes that he was “one of the foremost candidates proposed for the Nobel Peace Prize”. Still, the Prize was not awarded to him. This paper ends with a speculative answer to why the Prize was not given to Keynes.
