The chairman of the ''Nation'''s board was the economist [[John Maynard Keynes]], who came to be an important influence on the paper. During the 1930s, the ''Statesman'' moved to the left politically. It became strongly anti-fascist and was generally critical of the government policy of [[appeasement]] of [[Mussolini]] and [[Hitler]]. ==Other websites== *[http://www.newstatesman.com/ ''New Statesman'' official website] *[http://www.newstatesman.com/subscribe ''New Statesman'' PDF edition] [[Category:Newspapers published in the United Kingdom]] {{multistub|lit|UK}}
