Abstract
A collection of essays, documents and commentaries informs on the tension between the state funded Council of industrial design and the vast body of British manufacturing industry located in the industrial regions. Other themes: the persuasion of the general public that 'good' modern design had a key role in everyday life and the manifestation of a particular set of social and cultural values in the selection of exhibits and the means of design propaganda.
