Fromm personally financed research staff from his own psychoanalytic practice surplus

Evidence

Fromm hoped for first-rate assistance with the work from Anna Hartoch, who had excellent psychological knowledge and wide cultural and political experience with working people'. Her monthly salary of $50 was to be provided by Fromm, using a surplus in earnings resulting from an exchange of badly paid for better-paid consultation hours’ at his psychoanalytic practice to pay her directly, `instead of paying the amount to the Institute’s account’. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 694
