Bob Denham and his team at Econ Films have tweeted wonderful footage of Keynes speaking about the decision to leave the Gold Standard!
Perfect for adding into the classroom mix when discussing exchange rates and as a prelude to studying aspects of Keynesian economics!
📽 Rare archive footage of John Maynard Keynes! #ThrowbackThursday
