Engineered to Sell
In Engineered to Sell Jan L. Logemann extends a critique of the “Americanization” of consumer capitalism thesis that he first ventured in Trams or Tailfins? (Jan L. Logemann, Trams or Tailfins?, 2012, p. 2). In that book Logemann argued that the West German “economic miracle” of the late 1950s resulted in a uniquely German approach toward the built environment (p. 8). Far from submitting to “Coca-colonization,” West Germans created housing and mu…
Against Thrift
James Livingston is at his best when he is provocative. Judging from Against Thrift, a two-part exercise in the political economy of pleasure, I fear he is losing his provocateur's edge. It is easy to agree with his claim in part 1: that America's obscene wealth gap undermines economic growth by eroding the public's ability to engage in the consumption that makes the economy grow. The second part, in which Livingston provides philosophical clarit…
Walter Reuther, the UAW, and the dilemmas of automation
Historians have slighted the importance of automation both as a cause of organized labor's decline in America and as a lively issue among labor leaders in the early post-WWII period. In part, this disregard stems from labor's own ambivalence about technological change. This essay considers that ambivalence by looking at Walter Reuther and the United Auto Workers. Reuther and his colleagues shared widespread hopes that the new production processes…

Did the Protestant Ethic Disappear? The Virtue of Thrift on the Cusp of Postwar Affluence
After World War II, the United States moved into what historians are now recognizing as a full-blown consumer society. Consumer society carried with it vast cultural changes, including shifts in fundamental values. Not least important were shifts in the practices of thrift, as seen in how Americans regarded personal savings and debt. Traditionally seen as opposites, those two economic behaviors became intertwined in the 1950s, as Americans contin…

Progressivism Redux
It has been a quarter century since Daniel Rogers jolted American historians by announcing that there was no single “progressivism,”1 but judging from Alan Dawley's new book, some are still determined to find one. At least as he tries to approach it, Dawley's hunting strategy is sound, for surely internationalizing our assessments of American progressivism is a good way to rethink the subject. American Progressives, as Dawley quite rightly assert…
