Book Synopsis
In the years that followed World War II, both the United States and the newly formed West German republic had an opportunity to remake their economies. This book takes a comparative look at the development of postwar mass consumption in West Germany and the United States and the emergence of discrete consumer modernities.

Trade Review
"Jan L. Logemann provides an outstanding contribution to the history of consumption that will be an important read for scholars of European and American history. Trams or Tailfins? is an excellent model for how consumer history can be embedded within the history of public policy." (Katherine Pence, Baruch College, City University of New York)"
