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. 588 Description based on print version record. 590 Project Muse|bProject Muse Open Access 648 7 1990-|2fast 648 7 1945-1990|2fast 650 0 Functionalism in art|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85052325|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Industrial design|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85037205|zGermany.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80125931-781 650 0 German reunification question (1949-1990)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85054424 650 7 Functionalism in art.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1896054 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Industrial design|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1730202 650 7 German reunification question (1949-1990)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/941961 650 7 Economic conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919582 650 7 Relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1892706 651 0 Germany|xEconomic conditions|y1990-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh91000418 651 0 Germany|xHistory|y1945-1990.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh91001545 651 0 Germany (East)|xRelations|zGermany (West)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008115175 651 0 Germany (West)|xRelations|zGermany (East)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008115176 651 7 Germany.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210272 651 7 Germany (East)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210274 651 7 Germany (West)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210273 655 7 Electronic books. .|2local 710 2 Project Muse,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n96089174|edistributor. 776 18 |iPrint version:|aSchreiter, Katrin.|tDesigning one nation |dNew York : Oxford University Press, 2020.|z9780190877279 |w(DLC) 2019056854 830 0 Book collections on Project MUSE. 856 40 |zOnline eBook.
