Abstract: The first issue of L'Europe Nouvelle was published in 1918, as a weekly journal was by Louise Weiss (1893-1983), a French journalist with a university degree in literature, who would later become a feminist activist and a member of the European Parliament. L'Europe Nouvelle carried the urgent need for a Peace project after World War I and the vital need to set up and strengthen the new League of Nations shared in many intellectual, political, and economic circles. The contributors to L'Europe Nouvelle ranged from politicians to diplomats, writers, artists, and, of course, economists. Louise Weiss's stated aim was to train the future elites to achieve a unified Europe as the only solution to a lasting peace. To this end, she commissioned a diverse array of authors from various disciplines and negotiated an exclusive publishing agreement with John Maynard Keynes for the French edition of seven papers, between 1927 and 1929. The paper examines these contributions
