<br/><br/> This article focuses on the figures for war reparations and on how they were constructed and from which perspectives. The analysis is based on a critical reading of the founding work of John Maynard Keynes, the economic consequences of the peace, a book that met with immense success and that has a continuing impact. The article analyses in detail the calculations made by the British economist to underline their limits and their potential errors.
