Re: Keynes quote--private reply

["William B. Ryan" <william_b_ryan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The quote is circulated by conspiracy theorists, and is usually attributed
to Keynes' *The Economic Consequences of the Peace.*

It is also attributed to the Rothschild's:

?By this means government may secretly and unobserved, confiscate the
wealth of the people, and not one man in a million will detect the theft?
-- Rothschild Brothers of London, in a letter discussing their new banking
scheme with fellow conspirators on June 25, 1863

Which leads me to believe it is probably spurious.
