In 1965 Kingsley Martin, who had recently retired as editor of the New Statesman, published an article in Encounter entitled “Arguing with Keynes.” Although the self-serving memoir acknowledged Martin's admiration for “the swiftest and most powerful intellect that I have ever met,” it did little to enhance Keynes's reputation, revealing him as an apologist for Chamberlain's appeasement policy. Despite mutual respect, Keynes, the most active and certainly the most vociferous member of the New Statesman board of directors, regularly censured Martin for self-righteousness, complaining on one occasion that he was “perpetually engaged in conducting an indignation meeting.” After a dinner in 1945 at which Keynes castigated him for losing his “intellectual integrity,” the outraged editor retorted that he was “never again going to subject [himself] to [Keynes's] insults,” adding, “I understand now why people hate Maynard so much.”
