520 $a This dissertation examines a program to register, evaluate and develop Germany's human talents that began after the First World War and ended---at least as a unified whole---after a decade of the Economic Miracle.
520 $a In the increasingly dynamic society of late 19th and early 20th century Germany, concerns for domestic order, individual well-being, economic efficiency and national power motivated attempts to match workers to jobs and to train them. It was the First World War, however, which launched a more unified program of human economies, as German authorities established a national labor administration with offices throughout the country, and as the war's outcome fostered the widespread conviction that Germany's welfare, even survival, depended on husbanding its human resources. In the postwar period, vocational counseling aspired to monopoly control--- Totalerfassung---of all young people entering work. It made use of applied psychology, both in order to match workers and occupations and, more strategically, to bind employers to the labor offices.
520 $a In the mid-1920s, German industry's (re)discovery of the value of the skilled worker affected all aspects of the human economies. It put pressure on vocational counseling to evaluate worker motivation and personality---for which it had to turn to less scientific, more pragmatic, forms of assessment. Employers, with the encouragement of government, also cooperated to standardize vocational training. This standardization permitted the creation of a (potentially) mobile force of high-skilled workers.
520 $a The system of human economies was brought to completion under the National Socialists, though not as an intentional consequence of their policies. After the war, it survived even the transition to a far different economic system and political regime.
520 $a This system came apart only after a decade of unparalleled economic growth and of strategic security in the 1950s. The scientific limits to matching workers to occupations had been reached earlier. Around 1960, the political necessity and social acceptability of Totalerfassung dissolved in the face of an overabundance of jobs and individuals' increasing orientation toward personal advancement. While the system of standardized worker training continued, the Labor Administration had to develop new tasks for itself.
