Abstract: French economic policies and more generally French economic evolution played an important part in the evolution of Keynes' ideas after 1918. On the French scene, two economists, C. Rist and J. Rueff, played an important part in this inter-war period. The initial position of the former seems to have been fairly close to that of Keynes and one could even talk of a dialogue at the beginning of the Twenties. But these positions, perhaps under the influence of the latter, were to progressively diverge and from the "treatise on Money" one can see a veritable rupture between them whilst the latter was to develop, in parallel with Hayek, a real anti-Keynesianism which preceded the "General Theory". This article will follow these developments by placing them within the French Context.
