520    "Designing One Nation explores how East and West Germans 
       negotiated their country's postwar division at the 
       juncture of economic and cultural politics. It is 
       especially concerned with historical interconnections 
       between the two Germanies in industrial design, economic 
       structures, corporate ethos, trade, economic foreign 
       policy and consumer culture, all of which are subsumed 
       under the term "economic culture." It shows that post-war 
       reconstruction, as envisioned and realized by a network of
       politicians, entrepreneurs, and cultural brokers, did more
       than to modernize the respective parts of Germany. Rather,
       through the national re-inscription of their material 
       culture, here explored in the realm of interior design and
       furniture production, the two German states pursued an 
       unprecedented effort to regain economic stability and 
       political influence in post-war Europe's order. 
       Significantly, what started as a Cold War competition for 
       ideological superiority quickly turned into a shared, 
       politically legitimizing quest for an untainted post-
       fascist modernity. Following products from the drawing 
       board into the homes of ordinary Germans, this book thus 
       offers unique insights into how converging visions of 
       German industrial modernity created shared expectations 
       about economic progress and living standards. The 
       resulting economic culture linked the two Germanies 
       together and acted internationally in a pan-German 
       interest"--|cProvided by publisher.
