At the German Industries Fair in Berlin in 1952, Ludwig Erhard, West Germany's Minister of Economic Affairs, addresses an interested group. A key architect of the post-war "Wirtschaftswunder," or "economic miracle," Erhard gestures with his glasses towards an elegant display on a polished dark table. His audience, in suits and overcoats, intently examines an array of crystal glassware and a pair of small figurines in traditional dress, their forms reflected in the gleaming tabletop before a brightly lit wall of windows.
