| Summary: | "The origins and nature of the "economic miracle" in Germany in the 1950s continue to attract great interest from historians, economists, and political scientists. Examining election campaign propaganda and various public-relations campaigns during this period, the author explores ways that conservative political and economic groups sought to construct and sell a political meaning of the Social Market Economy and the Economic Miracle, which contributed to conservative electoral success, constructed a new understanding of economics by West German society, and provided legitimacy for the new Federal Republic Germany."--Jacket. |
