Exile forced Gurland to retrain from philosophy toward Nazi economic analysis

Evidence

In Paris his career in political journalism was difficult to sustain, and Gurland began to retrain himself as a student of Nazi economics. By the time he came to New York and the Institut in 1940, he was writing almost exclusively on that subject. Despite his earlier interest in philosophy, Gurland did not contribute anything theoretical to Institut publications. His work for the Zeitschrift showed more of an affinity for the approach of his former colleagues in the SPD than for that of Critical Theory. — Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination, 477
