Fromm’s working-class study distributed 3300 questionnaires with 271 items in 1929

Evidence

The first of 3300 questionnaires featuring 271 items were distributed before the end of 1929. Information about the research on the working class is only available from the period after the Institute’s flight from the Nazis, i.e. after the final proof that the German working class was powerless. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 227
