Postwar German intellectual reconstruction proposals paired technocratic and cultural-visionary programs
Evidence
Wiese’s programme, which today merely seems eccentric, was the sociotechnocratic counterpart to the most widely discussed programme circulating in Germany in 1945-6, Friedrich Meinecke’s The German Catastrophe, the principal suggestion in which was that a Goethe Cultural Association should found local groups throughout the country. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1679
